State's Brief in Resistance to Suppression (OWI) (original) (raw)

AI-generated Abstract

The paper presents a legal argument regarding the admissibility of field sobriety tests and preliminary breath screenings in the context of an OWI (operating while intoxicated) case in Iowa. It discusses the standards for when a peace officer can request these tests based on reasonable suspicion of intoxication without requiring Miranda warnings. The case involves a defendant, Vanwaardhuizen, who was involved in a motorcycle accident and subsequently consented to testing, which indicated impairment.
