You do not have to submit to field
sobriety tests.
However, the officer will more than likely arrest someone
who refuses to take field sobriety tests (FST).
The FSTs are not conclusive and are merely meant to bolster the State's case. You may perform well on the test, but the police officer is trained to testify as to what you did not do well. In the end the tests, are a subjective measure and there could be many reasons for any "clues" the police officer notes.
