State v. Itogreen2 sentences2009However, the ICA held that "no evidence was adduced that [the arresting officer] was duly qualified to conduct the HGN test and grade the test results" because "it is not clear what HPD's `standard training' consists of and whether HPD's standard training program meets the requirements of the [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ("NHTSA")]." Id. (brackets added). 2009Thus, the ICA "[had] no way of knowing the extent and nature of [the arresting officer's] HGN training, whether [the arresting officer's] training was supervised by certified instructors, whether [the arresting officer] was certified to administer the test, and whether [the arresting officer] received periodic retraining to refresh himself on his HGN test administration skills."
