At least here in Texas they do need probable cause to ask you to do field sobriety. I know because I got pulled over and my lawyer fought the license suspension for not blowing because there was no probable cause and I won. The officer strangely enough had no sense of smell and I said I had not been drinking and my eyes were irritated from my contacts and being on the lake all day. Maybe it was a technicality but this was my experience. They just passed the law where they can force you to give blood now, but they still have to have the initial probable cause to ask you for breathalyser or blood and field sobriety tests.
