Which of the following is NOT a phase of OWI detection?

Driver identification is a critical component of the OWI (Operating While Intoxicated) detection process. The OWI detection process is generally divided into three key phases: vehicle in motion, personal contact, and pre-arrest screening.

In the vehicle in motion phase, officers observe the behavior of the vehicle and may look for signs of impairment through erratic driving patterns. This phase focuses on how the vehicle operates on the road. The personal contact phase involves interacting with the driver, where the officer can assess indicators such as physical appearance, behavior, and demeanor. Finally, the pre-arrest screening phase typically involves standardized field sobriety tests that are administered to further evaluate the driver's condition.

Driver identification, while it is certainly a necessary step in the overall arrest and identification process, is not formally categorized as a separate phase of OWI detection. Instead, it falls under the responsibility of the officer during personal contact, but does not constitute a distinct phase on its own.
