I f you are arrested for DUI, it is important not to fall into despair or panic. You should not feel helpless, ashamed, or embarrassed because of your DUI arrest. Just because you have been arrested for or even charged with Driving Under the Influence, it does not mean that you will lose your license, go to jail, or be convicted. You may have a DUI defense for your case. Law enforcement must prove the crime of driving under the influence beyond a reasonable doubt before you can be convicted. In some cases, the evidence may be insufficient and the prosecution cannot prove the case. If your DUI case is not properly investigated and defended, you could lose a lot more than your license.
According to Florida laws, Driving Under the Influence occurred when it is proven beyond a reasonable doubt that you:
-
Were driving while your faculties were impaired due to the influence of drugs or alcohol; or
-
Were driving a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.80 or higher.
