When a person is under suspicion of driving while under the influence, they can be asked by law enforcement to perform several field sobriety tests and/or a blood/breath test. These tests will help determine whether a person is intoxicated by testing their physical/mental agility skills along with measuring their BAC (blood alcohol content) or blood/breath alcohol ratio. When a person fails any tests or has a BAC at or above 0.08% they can be immediately arrested and charged with DUI. Simply refusing any tests will not allow a person to avoid criminal prosecution; under Florida law they can still be arrested, charged and face conviction and incarceration.

Dependent upon any past criminal history and the seriousness of the charges, when arrested for DUI a person may face the following DUI penalties:

• Up to 1 Year or More Jail or Prison Sentence
• Large Monetary Fines
• Community Service
• Drivers License Suspension or Revocation
• Possible Impoundment of Vehicle
• Installation of Interlock Device
• Insurance Penalties
• DUI School
• Up to 5 Years Probation
• Parole
• Possible Deportation if a Non-U.S. Citizen
