Did you know that you have the right to refuse a breathalyzer test, if a police officer suspects you of drinking and driving?
If you refuse the DUI field sobriety test, law enforcement will assume you are guilty. If you are arrested, you have the right to request a blood test instead of a breath test, if you agree to pay for it.

Results from a field sobriety breath test are seldom conclusive. The breathalyzer may be used again and again by different police officers who may not receive regular breathalyzer training. If the breathalyzer is not well maintained or calibrated, results may not be consistent.
Results of breathalyzer tests may also be affected by your body weight, fitness level and health concerns such as diabetes or a low carbohydrate diet.
For these reasons, our attorneys want you to know that you can refuse the breath test and ask for a blood test. If your request for a blood test is denied, it may weaken the State's case, and prosecutors may not be able to use the results of the breath test against you.
Your future will depend on how well your DUI defense attorneys do their jobs. If you are charged with DUI, do not lose this opportunity to protect yourself and defend your rights.
In Florida there is no grand jury system. That means that the State Attorney's office will investigate the DUI, then formally charge you.
A criminal defense attorney at Bauer Crider & Parry won't wait for the State. We will move for dismissal or reduced charges.
