A Case Study on DUI Policy: Palm Beach
County Florida
Parks & Braxton,
your resource for a Florida
DUI Lawyer has reprinted this case study on
DUI policy in Palm Beach County Florida to demonstrate
why selecting the best Florida
DUI Defense Lawyer is essential:.
Eighty percent of administrative license revocations
are said to result in hearings. The defendant
does not have to attend, but the arresting officer
does, and the defense attorneys are given "a
free shot at the officers." Hearings are
shorter now, because issues are limited. In other
counties, defense attorneys are said to sometimes
intimidate hearing officers. Overall, officer
scheduling is poor - police officers get short
notice (five days) and have to prepare a written
request for a continuance. Some officers and prosecutors
believe that many judges are not sympathetic to
the special needs of officers. Defense attorneys
play this card routinely.
The judge who was interviewed for this study had
never had a DUI case involving drugs other than
alcohol. The prosecutor does not file them because
neither officers nor prosecutors have received
DUI-drug training. In this jurisdiction it must
be determined that the suspect is under the influence
of a controlled substance interpreted to mean
a BAC-type per se measurement model for drugs.
(Presence is enough in many states.) Palm Beach
County has no trained drug recognition experts
that are available for impaired driving cases.
