Driving Under the Influence in Tampa

It is impossible to drive a mile in Tampa, Florida without seeing a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Deputy, a Tampa Police Officer or a Trooper from the Florida Highway Patrol.   In fact, the Hillsborough County Sheriff actively targets DUI arrests and releases a monthly 'target area' spreadsheet.   Typically, more than 50% of the arrests on any given day released by the Hillsborough County Sheriff are for DUI related charges.   Quite simply, police officers in Tampa are "hunting" for impaired drivers, many of whom may not be impaired at all.  

To be qualified as a 'DUI Officer,' police personnel in Tampa, Florida must undergo extensive training on (1) patterns of driving which indicate possible impairment; (2) visual clues of intoxication; and (3) proper procedure for Field Sobriety Exercises.  It is imperative to retain a lawyer that is familiar with this police training and has extensive knowledge about what the officer can and can not do.  Our attorneys have the years of experience and the resources to evaluate whether the stopping officer in your case performed according to the proper procedure and with the legal parameters.
