In the state of Florida, law enforcement officers reserve the right to make a DUI traffic stop anytime they have reasonable suspicion that a person is operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or both. Certain driving behaviors are indicative of intoxication, such as: speeding, swerving, ignoring traffic signs, and/or erratic stopping. When law enforcement officers observe these behaviors on the road, they will most likely make a DUI traffic stop, and attempt to look for further physical and mental signs of impairment.
Law enforcement officers will usually ask possible DUI offenders to consent to a voluntary breath alcohol test and field sobriety tests to determine if the person should be arrested for DUI. If the person is believed to be under the influence, law enforcement will immediately arrest the person, and the criminal process will begin. For example, if a person consents to the breath alcohol test, and his/her test result is 0.08% or higher, he/she will be placed under arrest. Once a person has been arrested for DUI, he/she may feel devastated and without hope. Being arrested is an extremely frightening experience that can alter a person’s life for years to come.
All too often, people are under the assumption that they do not have many legal options after they have been arrested for DUI in Florida. However, this could not be further from the truth. People do have legal options after they have been arrested for DUI, and they are in fact innocent until proven guilty.
In order to protect their rights and best interests, people who have been charged with DUI should always do everything possible to obtain the services of a qualified and experienced DUI defense attorney. A DUI defense lawyer can immensely change the outcome of a person’s case for the better by utilizing reliable resources, looking into all of the person’s legal options, and providing upstanding representation throughout the entire legal process.
