Florida DUI laws are complex and made to punish those who drive under the influence. With that said, however, DUI laws in Florida also protect the innocent. A policeman cannot just pull over anyone for any reason and charge them with driving under the influence. There has to be proof for it to stick.

If you have been charged with a DUI, there might be many defenses available to you. Defenses that can keep you from facing harsh penalties. Florida DUI laws make sure that the prosecution must prove a few things: like that your breath was .08 percent or higher alcohol content and that your normal faculties were impaired. The police officer that pulled you over must have gone through a series of events with valid reason. If any of those details were bypassed, you may have a shot at a DUI case.
