Zero Tolerance Laws for Youth: FLORIDA
Zero Tolerance Laws: "Enforcement. Florida's zero tolerance law is a purely administrative law where the full enforcement action can, in most cases, be implemented at the scene of the traffic stop. The basic procedures are described below.
A lawful contact must be made with the underage driver before checking for a zero tolerance violation. This may be triggered by a traffic stop related to a violation of law, contact at a sobriety checkpoint, contact at a crash site or a consensual encounter with a driver under 21. Standard procedure calls for ruling out the .08 DUI offense before taking action on the zero tolerance offense. "
