Under Massachusetts law, the police need reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle in order to investigating whether you have been operating under the influence. Once you have been stopped, police officers are trained to observe every action you make to determine whether you may be under the influence of alcohol. The police will observe how you pull your vehicle over, get out of your car, and whether or not you use it for balance. They will evaluate your appearance and will in almost all OUI and DUI cases state that your eyes were bloodshot and glassy, your speech was slurred, and that they smelled alcohol coming from your breath.

Often, the police will ask you to perform standard field sobriety tests in order to determine whether they have probable cause to arrest you for operating under the influence.
