Tampa Defense Attorney - Drag Racing Statute Unconstitutional
Catching Street Racers just got a little tougher. Cops lost a valuable tool in the war on wheels. The street racing statute is unconstitutional according to the Fourth District Court of Appeals.The court cleared a Broward teen who was driving 130 mph in a 65 mph zone. Officers couldn't determine who was racing, and who was just passing another car that was also speeding. "You could have two people driving down the turnpike next to each other at the same rate of speed, and based on the way the statute is written, this is what the court said, that they both could be charged with drag racing," says Elizabeth Parker with the State Attorney's office.
70-people have been busted for drag racing in Palm Beach County in the last year. The penalties are harsh - Up to a year in jail and an automatic license suspension.

DUI Tampa - Alcohol Monitors
South Florida judges use anklets to keep tabs on problem drinkers - : "An anklet that detects alcohol consumption 24 hours a day.
It has only been used a handful of times involving drunken-driving and domestic-violence cases since this summer, but the monitoring system shows promise. It can help provide greater scrutiny than random alcohol testing, advocates say. 'I've been pretty pleased about it,' said Palm Beach County Circuit Court Judge Charles Burton, who hears misdemeanor criminal cases such as DUI and domestic battery and has used the monitor in about half a dozen cases. Some judges say the monitoring system -- which tests a person's perspiration for signs of alcohol -- provides another tool for controlling defendants with alcohol problems. Judges routinely order drunken-driving defendants not to use alcohol, which can be difficult to enforce."

DUI Tampa Attorney FAQ
"What is the Legal Limit?
In reality, there is no legal limit. In Florida, a person can be arrested and convicted of DUI after consuming any amount of alcohol.
So what does a Blood-Alcohol Level of .08 mean?
The term '.08 BAC' is commonly referred to as the legal limit, but this is not accurate. According to Florida Law, .08 BAC is the presumptive level of impairment. In other words, if you have consumed enough alcohol to reach a .08 BAC, you are automatically considered impaired.
What if I'm below .08 BAC?
You can still be convicted of DUI even if you are under .08 BAC. If your driving ability is proven to be impaired you will likely be convicted of DUI."
