No, NO, and NOOOO!!! You absolutely don't need to take any of the standardized field sobriety tests. You also don't have to blow into a preliminary breath test machine. If a cop sticks something in your face and tells you to blow into it then you don't have to.

Q: My brother was convicted of trafficking meth in 2006 at 85% have any laws changed to get him paroled now.

The evidence was a stolen out of impound by a cop and the cop didn't go to prison. He went before the judge for sentencing. He was Guv in credit for the year in county before sentencing.

No laws have changed with respect to drug charges that wold help your brother. He may be able to get a judicial sentence modification. The law on that changed to allow one within five years of a sentence. But, if he was convicted in 2006, then that would be way beyond the five year limit.

Probably go to jail or prison depending on whether it was a misdemeanor or a felony, respectively. He needs to start the class ASAP and hire an attorney. Nobody can force him to go to the class. If he doesn’t want to do the class then he can get locked up. Simple as that.
