If I am lawfully stopped or arrested in Florida for driving under the influence, am I required to submit to field sobriety tasks?

Thus, you are not required to submit to field sobriety tasks that assist officers in making a determination of whether to arrest you for driving under the influence. But if you are nonetheless arrested, the fact that you refused such field sobriety tasks may be used against you in a court of law.
