As of October 1, 2025, a first refusal to submit to a breath test is now an additional crime. This defendant was arrested in August, two months before the law came into effect. When the defendant was asked for a breath test, he stated no. The officer then advised him of the implied consent law. However, she then went beyond the realm of the implied consent law and "told him that he would be committing a crime if he refused because the law changed." Well, she was obviously wrong and two months shy of the law changing. This misinformation and coercion caused the defendant to agree to the breath test. The firm filed a motion to suppress the .253/.253 breath test results based on misinformation of the law. The State agreed with our motion and Dropped the DUI prior to any hearing.

Jan 7, 2026 Case: 25-CT-502866 Judge Mirra
The defendant was found by police sitting in a lane of traffic. Officers noticed an odor of alcohol, watery eyes, and slurred speech. The defendant refused to perform and field sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI. He later refused a breath test. This was his Second DUI.
The defendant explained to police that he was looking for his dog and that why he had stopped in the road. In addition, the firm filed a motion to exclude his refusal to perform field sobriety tests. When a defendant refuses to perform field sobriety tests, an officer must advise them of the adverse consequences for refusing. For example, the officer must state something like, "I am going to have base my decision to arrest you on what I have observed so far if you refuse." In addition, the officer can state to the defendant that their refusal can be used against them in court. If they do not give any adverse consequences, the refusal will be excluded from evidence. Here, the officer did not give the defendant any adverse consequences. After negotiations short of trial, the State Dropped the DUI and he received no penalties other than court costs and a fine.

The defendant was stopped for weaving erratically between lanes, narrowly avoiding other cars, and running a red light. Officers noticed an odor of alcohol, constricted pupils, a sway, and he stumbled while exiting the car. The defendant performed poorly on the roadside tests, which consisted of the HGN (eye test), one leg stand, and walk and turn exercises. He was arrested for DUI and later attempted to blow in the breath machine but could only provide one invalid sample of a .243 (also called a volume not met (VNM).

She performed very poorly on the field sobriety tests.

She was arrested for DUI and later blew a .156 and .151 in the breath machine.

Dec 18, 2025 Case: 25-CT-037334 Judge Ingram
The defendant was stopped for running a stop sign. Officers noticed an odor of alcohol, glassy/red eyes, and slurred speech. He was also unsteady on his feet. He refused to do any field sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI. He later refused a breath test. This was the defendant's Second DUI arrest.
When a defendant refuses field sobriety tests, the officer must provide adverse consequences. They must say something to the effect of "your refusal can be used against you in court," or "I am going to have to make an arrest decision based on what I see so far." If they do not provide the adverse consequence, otherwise known as Taylor Warnings, the refusal is excluded from evidence. Here, they did not give any. Also, in Florida, a breath test cannot be requested until after one is arrested for DUI. Florida does not have prearrest breath tests or handheld devices. Here, they asked for breath prior the arrest. In fact, on tape, you can hear one cop yelling to the other "don't ask for breath now." The State Dropped the DUI and he received no penalties other than court costs and a fine.
The State dropped the DUI.

Dec 17, 2025 Case: 25-CT-011598 Judge Taylor
The defendant was stopped for speeding and weaving back and forth. The officer stated that she had left her lane several times. Officers noticed an odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, a dazed/blank stare, and slurred speech. The defendant started to do the HGN (eye test), never finished, and was arrested for DUI. She later refused a breath test.
The officer alleged in his reports that the defendant refused to do any field sobriety tests. That was not true because on tape he never even asked her to do any field sobriety tests other than HGN (eye test). He got frustrated with her during the HGN (eye test) because she kept moving her head and just arrested her. Also on tape, she never left her lane several times. It was like once. We called into question the credibility of the officer. The State Dropped the DUI and she received no conviction and no penalties other than court costs.

Dec 12, 2025 Case: 24-CF-001418 Judge Roby
The defendant ran a stop sign and undercover officers got behind him. They were driving in an unmarked police pickup truck. According to the officers, the defendant sped up and they immediately conducted a PIT (pursuit intervention technique) maneuver by ramming into the back of his car. According to the officers, he did not stop and they conducted another PIT maneuver by ramming his car again. The defendant was ordered out of the car at gunpoint and handcuffed. There were numerous officers on scene with dogs, guns, and shields. It should be noted that the defendant was coming home from dinner with his girlfriend in the car. Once cuffed, they placed him under arrest for Felony Fleeing and Eluding. Officers on scene also noticed an odor of alcohol. While at the police station, a DUI officer was called. That officer alleged that the defendant also had slurred speech and bloodshot eyes. The defendant refused to do any field sobriety tests and they put a DUI charge on him as well. He later refused breath test. This was the defendant's Second DUI.
The two officers that stopped the defendant had body worn cameras. From the time they turned on their siren, it was no more than ten seconds, if that, that they were ramming his car doing a PIT maneuver. They didn't even give him a chance to stop. Also on tape, you can see the defendant actually slowing down and not speeding up. Furthermore, they never rammed his car a second time (that was a lie). The firm took pretrial testimony of the officers as well. On tape, his speech was not slurred at all. In fact, he spoke clearly and was pissed because they destroyed his car for no reason. During pretrial talks with the prosecutor, we gave him the pretrial testimony of the officers and we pointed out that this was over zealous undercover drug cops jumping the gun and doing PIT maneuvers too fast. The defendant was not trying to flee and elude. He was coming home from dinner. There was no reason for him to evade the police after simply running a stop sign. They never even gave him a chance to stop on his own . We also pointed out that there was not enough evidence for a DUI charge. Three days before trial, the State not only Dropped the Second DUI, but also reduced the Felony Fleeing and Eluding to a misdemeanor.
The State dropped the DUI.

The defendant stated that he had consumed 5 or 6 drinks. The defendant only performed the HGN (the eye test). He was arrested for DUI and later refused a breath test. This was the defendant's Second DUI.

On tape, the defendant wasn't even asked to do any other field sobriety tests. It was unknown why not as the officers kept turning their body worn cameras off and on. After negotiations with the State, short of the trial date, the State Dropped his Second DUI.

The sheriff's office received a call that a female had been kidnapped. It was the defendant's girlfriend who made the call. Officer's located the defendant's truck and conducted a felony traffic stop. The defendant was ordered out of his truck at gun point, taken to the ground, and handcuffed. Officers then observed an odor of alcohol and slurred speech. Officers found wine and whiskey in the truck. It was later determined that she had not been kidnapped and made a false allegation. The defendant was arrested for DUI and later refused a breath test.

The firm had discussions with the State. We pointed out to the prosecutor that the only reason the cops put a DUI on him was because there was no kidnapping. They already had taken him down at gunpoint and did not even offer him field sobriety tests.
The State dropped the DUI.
Dec 9, 2025 Case: 25-CT-001756 Judge Hitzemann
A 7-11 employe called the police stating that the defendant was doing weird things in the store like sweeping the floor, stumbling, had been there for a few hours, and slurring his words. When officers arrived, they saw the defendant's truck improperly parked and him sitting in the driver's seat. They noticed an odor of alcohol, slurred speech, poor balance, and bloodshot eyes. He performed very poorly on the field sobriety tests and was arrested for DUI. He later refused a breath test.
The defendant told the cops the truck was inoperable and that is why he was there for a few hours waiting on someone to pick him up. Officers had no idea if he drank before driving or while he was there. After his arrest, we could see the tow truck driver on video not being able to start the truck and then having to push it. We spoke to the prosecutor and explained that the truck was inoperable and they could not prove that he became intoxicated after it became inoperable. Under Florida law, the defense of inoperability can only be used if one became intoxicated after the car became inoperable. The State agreed and Dropped the DUI.
The State dropped the DUI.
Dec 8, 2025 Case: 25-CT-051354 Judge Koenig

The defendant was stopped for weaving. Officers noticed an odor of alcohol, slow speech, and lethargic movements. After performing the HGN (eye test), one leg stand, and walk and turn exercises, he was arrested for DUI.

Parks and Braxton pointed out to the State that the defendant only weaved one time and that this was an unlawful traffic stop. Weaving one time does not rise to the level of reasonable suspicion to believe someone is impaired justifying a traffic stop. The State Dropped the DUI to a Civil Careless Infraction.
The State dropped the DUI.
Dec 8, 2025 Case: 25-CT-037365 Judge Koenig
The defendant was stopped for swerving all over the road. Officers did not smell any alcohol, but noticed bloodshot/watery eyes, heavily slurred speech, a flushed face, and his movements were slow and lethargic. He also swayed and staggered. After performing the HGN (eye test), one leg stand, and walk and turn exercises, he was arrested for DUI. Believing that he was impaired drugs, he was requested to provide a urine sample. The defendant refused. This was the defendant's Second DUI arrest.
Under Florida law, to prove a DUI under Florida Statute 316.193, the State must prove that the defendant was impaired by a chemical substance as specified in set forth in Florida Statute 877.11 and/or a controlled substance as set forth in Florida Statute 893. Here, the State could not prove either. The State Dropped the Second arrest DUI to Civil Carless Driving Infraction.

Dec 5, 2025 Case: 25-CT-050371 Judge Garagozlo
The defendant was stopped for weaving all over the road. Officers observed an odor of alcohol, watery/glassy eyes, and thick slurred speech. The defendant stated that he had consumed two beers. The defendant was slow to answer questions and appeared nervous. After performing the HGN (eye test), finger to nose, and estimation of 30 seconds exercises, he was arrested for DUI. Officers believed he was actually impaired by drugs and requested a urine test to which he refused.
Parks and Braxton filed a pretrial motion to exclude the refusal to do a urine test. Under Florida law, there must be "reasonable cause” to believe a defendant was under the influence of a chemical and/or controlled substance to request urine. Here, there was no legal basis. On tape, his speech was normal and not slurred and he appeared responsive and coherent. In addition, the officer had the defendant doing the field sobriety tests with his back turned from the camera so no one could see where he was touching on this nose, etc. Finally, the officer's dash cam was so blurry that no one could see the alleged driving pattern. After negotiations, the State Dismissed the DUI.
The DUI was dismissed.

Nov 17, 2025 Case: 25-CT-000276 Judge J. Steele
The defendant was the at fault driver in a traffic crash when she ran a stop sign and t-boned another car. Officers noticed an odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, thick tongued speech, and she admitted to having drank a glass of wine. After performing the HGN (eye test), one leg stand, and walk and turn exercises, she was arrested for DUI. She later refused a breath test.

On tape, the defendant's speech was normal and there were no balance issues. In fact, her field sobriety tests were practically perfect on tape versus what was written in the police reports. Just prior to the trial date, the State Dropped the DUI and she got no conviction and no penalties other than a fine and courts costs.

Nov 17, 2025 Case: 25-CT-000942 Judge Compton
Police received a call from an FDOT road ranger about a vehicle that was driving all over the road (i.e., the defendant). The defendant had stopped his car and the road ranger blocked him in. When officers arrived, they noticed an odor of alcohol, bloodshot eyes, dilated pupils, and a slight slur to his speech. The defendant was not asked to perform any roadside tests and arrested for DUI. He later refused a breath test.
The firm brought many irregularities in this case to the prosecutor's attention. First, it was completely unknown why no DUI investigation was conducted. In other words, why wasn't he even asked to perform any field sobriety tests. Also, under Florida law, one cannot be requested to take a breath test until after they have been arrested for DUI. Here, the officer requested a breath test prior to arresting the defendant. Finally , the officer wrote in his reports that the road ranger had a dash camera. This was never turned over. After negotiations, the State Dropped the DUI.
