With summer finally coming along, DUI enforcement teams are certainly going to step up their patrols in our area. Tampa DUI Attorneys are often asked about the specifics of DUI checkpoints. These checkpoints lead to many DUI arrests throughout the greater Tampa Bay Area. Florida has very severe penalties for those convicted of DUI, Florida Statute Section 316.193 provides the majority of the consequences. Many Tampa DUIs originate at DUI checkpoints as opposed to the driver being pulled over for poor driving or some other reason. As you can imagine, DUI checkpoints present a whole set of unique challenges and potential defense.
We have posted elsewhere on our Tampa DUI Attorney Blog concerning the specifics of checkpoints and what to expect at a DUI checkpoint. Without going too far into the matter, there are very specific legal requirements for Tampa DUIs originating out of a DUI Checkpoint. The upcoming DUI Checkpoints in Tampa, Florida are as follows:
