I doubt it. What if you are completely sober?

I wasn't trying to condemn all Police Officers. For the most part they do their jobs and are a great service to us, I was just pointing out that you have the occasional guy who was picked on too much in school or is trying to hard to compensate for having a small penis or something and now has severve control and power issues. This guy struck me as one of those.

I know that guy. I have actually met two of them. One is no longer a cop. I don't think this guy is. I think he was more nervous about this because of the camera and the high profile suspect.

Not sure about the laws in Arizona, but here in the great state of Md, if you refuse a breathalyzer you are suspect to an automatic 130 day license suspension courtesy of the DMV.

Now you are just being silly. How are all the drunks going to get to where they need to go?
Cop said to do it slow without rhyming or singing. Rhythm is a whole different animal and has everything to do with timing; rhyming is to use terminal words with similar sound.

That being said, I still don't think DB should have been arrested...especially since he volunteered for the blood/breath/urine/whatever test that they could do. They just wanted a FST on tape.
BS
Cops suck.

insert tasteless joke about receivers
No the cop did not lie. Boston had no right to an attorney at that point. I just watched the first 2 minutes. I will watch the rest and comment based on my experience since many of you seem to think he got araw deal. I know exactly what an officer is looking for in these tests and I will tell you if he failed or not based on my observations.
Boston failed those tests miserably!
I will comment in a few minutes after I put the kiddie to bed as to why.
First off Im shocked at all the comments about that cop being a dick, jerk, looking for fame, etc...... That cop was about as professional and patient as you can be. He was very unsafe and has poor practices in that regard. But other than that I have no problem with his actions. He was right based on the FST tests to arrest Boston.
The first clue to me that Boston is impaired or has something to hide is his constant need to argue with the officer about doing the tests. Boston kept saying just give me a breathalizer or a blood test. The officer very clearly stated that he did not believe Boston was under the influence of alcohol but some other substance. So him continuing to aregue about a breathalizer was pointless.
You only need to miss on 2 clues to be a failure on each test. Ill count up the clues for you By bolding them at the point that he missed it.
As far as the first test is concerned when he put Boston in the initial position he asked him to hold the position and not to move. #1 Boston refused and got out of the position and actually moved about two steps to his right. The officer then demonstrated the test as required and told Boston what to do. Boston said he understood. #2 He had a mild sway in his walk, #3 he did not count out loud as instructed, #4 he didnt make his turn in the pivoted motion that the officer demonstrated not even close.
2nd test(one leg stand) which was again conducted after another lengthy argument by Boston to try and get out of it.
The officer again demonstrated the test and asked Boston if he understood. Boston stated that he did. #1 Once again he didnt count aloud as instructed and had to be asked two more time to do it. #2 He didnt count in the way the officer instructed him to do. #3 He visibly swayed and needed to use his arms for balance in order to stand. #4 He didnt look at foot during entire test.
During test #3 which the officer let Boston do the easier way. Again the officer demonstrated and asked him if he understood and he said yes. #1 Boston started the test before he was asked and just started touching his nose before being asked to. #2 Boston failed to hit the tip of his nose with his finger each time he tried.
The alphabet test I cannot comment on because it is something we dont do nor are we trained to do it. However it was clear that he again did not follow instructions on that test.
Based on the those FST's it is clear that Boston was under the linfluence of something. I wish I could have seen his pupils in the video but obviously thats impossible. I also noticed that no officer performed an HGN test. So that again backs up that the officer didnt suspect alcohol.
Based on those tests alone Boston was not capable of driving a motor vehicle and definitely should have been taken to jail. Kudos to the officer for not giving him preferential treatment based on him being an NFL player.

Well...he really just cuffed him to the bed...
Nice write-up Shane.
Thx. All the comments in this thread really kind of made me mad to be honest. If these people thought that cop was being a jerk and was unfair. It really sheds some light on what people think out there and what pansies society has really become.
WOW!

That cop was a jerk and unfair.
Shane, Florida law does not differentiate between alcohol or controlled substances in this section of its statute on testing.
If the arresting officer does not request a chemical or physical breath test of the person arrested for any offense allegedly committed while the person was driving or was in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcoholic beverages or controlled substances, such person may request the arresting officer to have a chemical or physical test made of the arrested person's breath or a test of the urine or blood for the purpose of determining the alcoholic content of the person's blood or breath or the presence of chemical substances or controlled substances; and, if so requested, the arresting officer shall have the test performed.
Looks like Boston was right in asking for the test. Though I doubt he had any idea that language was in the statute.
Your a moron and a cop hater so Im not shocked in the least.
You are reading that wrong Duck. All that says is that if the officer doesnt request the test and basically just arrests on his observations. After being arrested the suspect has the right to request the test. An officer in any state cannot just give you a chemical test without offering you the opportunity to take FST's. That does not say that Boston has the right to request those prior to doing his FST's.
If you refuse to do them or are to impaired that you cant safely do them that is another ballgame.

That's Mr. Riff-Raff to you!
I've been trying to watch the video, but I'm at work and it's streaming for ***** right now...
One thing that I find funny, in a "you're a complete idiot" sort of way, is Boston trying to convince the officer in the beginning of the video that his knees are shot, he's had operations on both of them, and he rolled his ankle in practice that day. I wonder if the Bucs knew any of this before signing him?
Utter BS in my mind coming from a guy who probably would have told the cop in a different circumstance that he could still fly in a 40-yard-dash.
I'm not up on things in Arizona, but in Oregon if a suspect asks for a BAC test instead of field-sobriety tests or a breathalyser test he/she gets arrested, read his rights, booked, then tested.
