SEMINOLE COUNTY DUI DEFENSES
OPTIONS FOR DEFENSE OF DUI CHARGES
While you may be concerned that it
impossible to avoid a drunk driving
conviction, there are valid defenses available for
DUI charges.
- Challenge the Stop
- Challenge the Field Sobriety
Tests
- Challenge the Breathalyzer
Results
- Suppress Your Statements
There may be factors that render the
stop or subsequent arrest illegal. The
law enforcement officer may not have had
a valid suspicion for a stop or may have
failed to properly inform you of the
implied consent law.
Field Sobriety Tests can also be
challenged. You may have physical
conditions that negatively affect your
ability to perform these tests or the
officer may not be properly trained to
administer them.
Based on the details of
your particular situation, it may be
possible to challenge the results of any
breath, blood or urine test and have
those results thrown out of evidence.
Breath tests are strictly regulated; the
proper machine must be used, it must be
properly calibrated, the administrator
must be properly trained, and the test
itself must only be administered under
very specific conditions. There are are
several factors such as eating,
drinking, smoking, belching, or vomiting
in the 20 minutes prior to the test that
can invalidate it.
While a law enforcement officer is
not required to inform you of your
Miranda rights prior to arrest, it is
possible that any statements you made
during the stop can be suppressed. This
is most often based on violation of your
right to remain silent or Florida's
Accident Report Privilege.
