How Does The State Prove A DUI?

Under Florida law, The State can prove a DUI charge in one of two alternative ways: 1) The State can prove that your normal faculties were impaired, or 2) The State can prove that you drove with an unlawful blood alcohol or breath alcohol level of .08 or above.

Regardless of the manner in which The State proves a DUI, the penalties upon conviction are the same. DUI penalties increase based on the frequency of DUI  convictions and the severity of your current DUI  offense. Therefore, it is extremely important if faced with a DUI  charge that you fight it using every legal defense available.
