Man Allegedly Panics at DUI Checkpoint (Video)

Charged with DUI in Sarasota? Call 941-916-3627 for a free consultation today.

Because this man fled the scene of a fatal accident he could be sentenced to 30 years in prison for each DUI manslaughter charge. This just goes to show you that if you are in a drunk driving related crash OR are already suspected of drunk driving, evading police is seldom if ever the right thing to do. Instead it’s better to cooperate with police and contact a DUI attorney ASAP if they decide to charge you with a criminal offense.

Florida Sobriety Tests: One Leg Stand (OLS)

In the One-Leg Stand test, the suspect is instructed to stand with one foot approximately six inches off the ground and count aloud by thousands (One thousand-one, one thousand-two, etc.) until told to put the foot down. The officer times the subject for 30 seconds. The officer looks for four indicators of impairment, including swaying while balancing, using arms to balance, hopping to maintain balance, and putting the foot down. NHTSA research indicates that 83 percent of individuals who exhibit two or more such indicators in the performance of the test will have a BAC of 0.08 of greater (Stuster and Burns, 1998).

View the OLS test in the video below:

DUI Suspect Falls, Smashes Head on Wall (Video)

Many times when police charge someone with DUI it is unjustified. Merely because a suspect admits to have had “a couple” and cannot sing the alphabet backwards they arrest them on the spot. However, this doesn’t always stand true and to assure that view the below video:

While police tend to pull over suspects without probable cause, something tells me they had a reason to pull this man over. If he can’t even sit how would he be able to operate the peddle and steering wheel? Then again, police are also known for (and allowed to by law) booking people for DUI who were sleeping in their car; these cases are often beatable with the right approach.

If you have been charged with a DUI in Sarasota, Venice, North Port or another part of Sarasota County you NEED legal representation. Call 941-916-3627 for your free consultation with Florida’s best DUI Law Firm.

A Justified DUI Arrest (Video)

Many times when police arrest a Sarasota DUI suspect it turns out they had no right to do so in the first place making it very possible to avoid being convicted. However, this does not always stand true. The girl in the below video gives the officer plenty of reason to pull her over and then arrest her for driving under the influence.

As you saw she was initially pulled over for driving under a rail road barricade, which was completely justified. Then she admits to have been drinking right off the bat (they always say they had 2 drinks). Then to give the officer further reason to justify a drunk driving arrest she miserably fails 2 separate field sobriety tests. On top of all this it was caught on tape! Not an easy charge to beat.

This girl’s best option would probably be to hire a DUI attorney to work out a plea agreement with the prosecution. However, because a breathalyzer test was not administered she may have been able to beat the charge, it’s hard to say.
