New DUI case Temporary Detention

In State v Richard, the Court of Criminal Appeals addressed the situation in which a person suspected of DUI is placed in the back seat of a patrol car, when an officer suspects DUI, but calls for a specialized officer to come and perform field sobriety tests. They ruled that the temporary detention is ok and is not a problem. Read the case at:
