I don't think most of that is true. Mostly the field sobriety eye test is checking whether your eyes will twitch when they go to the edge of the field of view. They have to shine enough light near your face to be able to see your eyes obviously but if they're shining it right in your eyes they are definitely doing it wrong.
(Fun fact, when I was younger I passed one of those when I should not have. The cop was holding a pen near the edge of my field of view and I could literally see the pen shaking because of my eyes twitching, and for some reason he passed me on the test. I was not especially drunk, so maybe I was below the threshold, but I had been drinking. Who knows. Anyway, don't drive drunk kids. I just saw a bodycam video yesterday of a woman who had gotten in the car just to move it, while she was pretty drunk, and she managed to run over her husband who was near the car and kill him. She was shattered, looked like just a sweet woman who was out having fun and now her life was irrevocably destroyed, I did not finish watching the video.)
I won't say that there are not cops out there that will shine light in your eyes to check your pupil size or something (and definitely small pupils are a sign of drug use... I think mostly it is stimulants shrinking your pupils as almost all of what they're looking for; psychedelics will make your pupils big but that's not what most people they're looking to bust for DUI drugs have taken I think). The standard test is looking for twitching though.
You are talking about a different test assuming it is the same.
No, I am talking about the standardized HGN test. I specifically said I wasn't sure that there were not also cops out there doing something different like you described. The one I was talking about is the present-day standardized field sobriety test with the eyes, though (HGN test).
I had previously let the cops shime a flashlight directly into the eyes to before it is different than what you are talking about it is to check for hope you or cocaine or other drug use that dilates your pupils or consricts them.
