DUI Process

Details of the DUI Process

In Florida, driving a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol poses a tremendous risk for the driver. A DUI can occur at any time, even if the accused was not demonstrating driving habits indicative of a drunk driver and came into contact with a law enforcement officer due to a different reason, such as a break down or accident. If there is suspicion of intoxication for any reason, however, then the officer may request a field sobriety or breath-test to determine whether the suspect is over the level blood alcohol limit of .08. If the driver demonstrates symptoms of intoxication or has a BAC of over .08, then the officer may perform an immediate arrest and transport the offender to the police station.

DUI offenders must go through the standard booking process that all arrested individuals must endure. After being fingerprinted, photographed and put into a jail cell, you will have the opportunity to make a phone call. It is a good idea to use your phone call wisely by speaking with a Miami criminal defense attorney who can help you to take the next important steps. Arrested DUI offenders commonly spend several hours in jail or sufficient time to no longer be under the influence before release and must make multiple appearances in hearings as well as court thereafter before the process is complete.
