Is a “field sobriety test” a BAC? I thought the field test was the whole “walk a straight line, tilt your head back and touch your nose” thing. If I am correct, your license wouldn’t be suspended for refusing that, only for refusal to submit to blood or urine tests or a breathalyser.

Saw this coming a mile away. What I am surprised about is that the arresting deputy hasn’t been or wasn’t thrown under the bus. This administration has a way of doing that to their employees

At 2;00am after making 200 pounds of fudge my eyes arte blood shot and bleary…and I smell of chocolate. Does that mean I have been on a fudge binge???
Any anyone who has ever sat up all night with a sick baby knows about bleary watery eyes.. Come on folks.. the deputy copped an attitude about being asked “to go sit down and discuss this” by the gentleman….heaven forbid we challenge a cop…..

READ THE FLORIDA LAW ABOUT REFUSING TO TAKE A BREATHALYZER TEST IN FLORIDA.

“If you are lawfully arrested for a DUI and refuse to submit to a BAC test, you will be subjected to mandatory license suspensions. Additionally, you may be charged with a criminal misdemeanor for subsequent refusals. The penalties for refusing to take a BAC test are in addition to the standard penalties for a DUI. The penalties for refusal are as follows:

First Offense: License suspension for 1 year
Second and Subsequent Offenses: License suspension for 18 months and first degree misdemeanor charges”

WTH?????” How did he get out of this?
You or I sure wouldn’t!

REGARDING:
“Please don’t assume you won’t need help at sometime in the future… unless of course, you’re perfect!”

Close,so close….

And even then, it’s not a sure thing. People can sue you or falsely accuse you.
I saw in the paper today that Donald Trump has been involved in some 3500 lawsuits. Just wait until he has the Attorney General taking orders from him and your taxes to pay for his vendettas and appoints a few Supreme Court justices.

And if his opponent wins, she’ll be tied up in her own legal woes, even after she appoints a few Supreme Court justices.

The world needs more good lawyers to respond to the existing good lawyers.

David for justice

I have red eyes 24 seven. if I’m tired ,,they glow red. that’s not an excuse to suspect dui. I was arrested for Dui for speeding & red eyes , Did not do test. Was released & had to get a lawyer. .Got off with wreckless driving. Its a scam. What happened to DWI? They can arrest u for suspicion of anything. His license should be suspended for 1yr because he refused. No exceptions. There wasn’t any exceptions for me.

Good going David, I like that commercial where you spoof the Dos Equis guy. I knew you’d be back driving that Lambo in no time. There’s more to say, but it might mean my post won’t appear here.

Just because he was speeding, had bloodshot eyes, smelled of alcohol,and refused a breath test and a sobriety field test, there is no probable cause?????????? Just sayin to all you naysayers.

Give him his day in court not under the table with his cronies.

OK, who here did not know this was going to happen? Everyone should have been calling in and pushing the State Attorney’s Office to do the right thing before this happen not after the fact.

@took offence, A lawyer will tell the “truth” nine different ways to get their desired results. Most cops are trained liars and practice daily. c.w. hit the nail on the head but some people aren’t smart enough to understand the truth.
