DUI Tampa - Should all offenders have plate colorized to crime?

Pink DUI license plates are a joke because there are so many people committing various crimes. Why not have shades of every color for every crime? Law enforcement will need a score sheet to keep track. Unless all convicted lawbreakers get a special license plate, I will vote against any politician who favors this ridiculous proposed law. Should people who have been convicted of various crimes have a different license plate for each of their crimes? They might need a billboard. And don't forget to pick on the smokers. They should have special license plates, too, according to the brand they smoke.

DUI Tampa Lawyer - Pink plates great; pink car better for DUI drivers

I support state Sen. Mike Fasano's effort to help with impaired drivers. I like the pink plates idea, but to really make these drivers visible in traffic, I suggest we paint the whole vehicle pink. Enough said.

DUI Tampa - It's Gameday and Alcohol is Plentiful

"It's 8:20 a.m. on Saturday, more than 11 hours before the start of the Georgia-Auburn football game, and Justin Nichols is in the Five Points Bottle Shop buying a half-gallon of tequila and some margarita mix. Next he'll pick up his girlfriend and meet his friends to tailgate. They'll begin drinking immediately. . . .

It's 2:30 a.m., and students are leaving the bars. A line of people snakes down the sidewalk outside The Grill, a 24-hour diner. In the next hour a 21-year-old will be stabbed after leaving a Broad Street bar. An Auburn student will take off his clothes and streak through downtown. At the jail, police process arrests through the night. The tally: 30 arrests for underage possession, 15 for having an open container of alcohol, 12 for public intoxication or disorderly conduct, two for DUI, two for fake identification and two for public indecency."

DUI Tampa - Do The DUI Hokey Pokey

"Playing the DUI Hokey Pokey

Police, scientists squaring off over field sobriety tests

By Brigid Schulte, The Washington Post

Stand up! Heels together. Toes out. Hands at your sides. Raise the leg of your choice in front of you, 6 inches off the ground, leg straight, toe pointed. Keep your eyes on your raised toe and begin counting aloud from 1,001 until I say stop.

One thousand one. One thousand two ...

Some dark night on the side of the road, police car lights flashing in your peripheral vision, your freedom might depend on how well you do this. "

Florida DUI Law and Open Source - From Slashdot

"Florida court this Friday will hear arguments in a case where the accuracy of a breathalyzer is being scrutinized because the manufacturer refuses to release the source code. A state court ruling last year said that accused drunk drivers are entitled to receive details about the inner workings of the 'mystical machine' that determined their guilt, and defense attorneys are now using that ruling to open up the device's source code."
