OPINION
STEWART, Judge.
Raschad Galimba entered a plea of no contest to one count of driving while intoxicated (DWI), a misdemeanor. 1 Galimba now appeals, arguing that field sobriety tests constitute searches under the state and federal constitutions. He contends that District Court Judge Gregory J. Motyka should have suppressed the results of the field sobriety tests in this case (and all other evidence discovered after the tests) because the police did not have a search warrant, and no exception applied. 2 For the reasons set out below, we affirm.
