State v. H; Judge: Lawrence Lefler

The client was arrested for DUI in North Tampa by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. She was very unfamiliar with the area and when she left the local bar she attempted to follow a friend home. After the stop of her vehicle she performed field sobriety tests and failed. She was then transported to the Orient Road Jail. She agreed to blow into the breathalyzer and the results were .125 and .126. The legal limit in the State of Florida is .08. The officer that stopped the client was a special DUI enforcement officer. His patrol car was equipped with a video camera that documented our client's driving pattern. Sometimes the officer's camera can benefit the Defendant's case. Link to our website to learn the difference between stops conducted by a regular patrol officer and a special DUI enforcement officer.
