In Tennessee, and I'm sure most everywhere else, a police officer can give you a field sobriety test such as making you walk a straight line, asking you to say the alphabet, or anything else like that, and if you fail, you can be arrested on the suspicion of drunk driving. However, I suspect you're looking for the term "breathalizer" which is the electronic device they use to determine your blood alcohol level.

What is a census point?

A traffic census is where the local council with the help of the local Police stop drivers and cause traffic mayhem. This is done in order for them to ask questions about motorists habits to apparently help improve roads and traffic flow. I am surprised the police are being used as they are always complaining. They say the reason they are not effective and cant catch criminals is because they are under staffed, think they mean useless.
