Section 322.2616, Florida Statutes, authorizes
law enforcement officers having probable cause

who is under the age of 21 while under the influence
of alcoholic beverages or who has any alcohol
level may lawfully detain this person and may
request them to submit to a test to determine
the alcohol level. This violation is neither a
traffic infraction nor a criminal offense, nor
does being detained under this statute constitute
an arrest.
