The Prosecuting Attorneys Association of Michigan will present the Traffic Safety Training Program webinar “Pushing Back on SFST Courtroom Challenges” on Wednesday, January 11, from noon to 1 p.m. via Zoom.
The defense bar continues to present sophisticated arguments to have standardized field sobriety test (SFST) evidence excluded in court. This webinar will cover some of the newer and widely used attacks and provide practice pointers on how to avoid lengthy court hearings. The webinar will also discuss how to educate peers, the defense bar, judges, and other traffic safety professionals to try to put an end to these challenges.
Attendees will be provided with tools to help lessen the burden on practitioners.
Presenting at the webinar will be Colorado Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor Jennifer Knudsen and Denver Police Department Sergeant Alan Ma.
