Consequences of a TN DUI Conviction – Part 1
Posted by Sara Compher-Rice in DUI Penalties, Frequently Asked Questions, Podcasts, Tennessee DUI Consequences on November 21st, 2011
Citizens charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in Tennessee often understand the Tennessee DUI penalties, such as large fines, mandatory jail time, roadside litter pick-up, and loss of driver’s license. However, few are aware of the collateral consequences associated with a Tennessee DUI conviction. Collateral consequences are problems and difficulties experienced as a result of a DUI conviction that are separate from the penalties faced in court. Those convicted of DUI find themselves dealing with the consequences long after all fines are paid, probation has expired, and their driver’s license has been reinstated.
In this week’s podcast, host and Knoxville DUI attorney Steve Oberman presents Part 1 of a podcast series explaining some of the Collateral Consequences that result from a Tennessee DUI conviction.

The Walk and Turn Field Sobriety Test
Posted by Sara Compher-Rice in Podcasts on May 8th, 2011
Every day, law enforcement officers must decide whether to arrest a suspect for DUI. They have to determine whether the person’s ability to drive is impaired below normal or whether their blood alcohol content exceeds the legal limit of .08%. One of the tools they use is the Standardized Field Sobriety Test (SFST) battery recognized by the International Association of Chiefs of Police and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This battery consists of 3 tests: the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, the Walk and Turn and the One Leg Stand tests.
In this week’s podcast Steve Oberman provides a summary of the standardized Walk and Turn test. If you have not done so already, you should first listen to the previous podcast entitled “The History of Field Sobriety Tests,” which can be found by clicking here.

Posted by Sara Compher-Rice in Podcasts on February 23rd, 2011
