DUI Florida Probable Cause - Stopping for Too Long?
A DUI Officer observed a defendant remain at a flashing red light for 41 seconds and then drove through intersection in a safe manner. The Court found that created only a mere suspicion , not a well-founded reasonable suspicion of criminal activity to justify the stop. The Court ruled that the DUI Officer had no justification to conduct safety stop. The court also ruled that the defendant was not exhibiting behavior that was dangerous to another person or vehicle and that the officer's safety suspicions that the DUI defendant was injured or his vehicle was malfunctioning should have been alleviated by defendant's normal driving technique and vehicle's obvious operation in driving through intersection. Motion to Suppress the stop and the subsequent suppression of all evidence collected thereafter should have resulted.DUI Tampa Florida Attorney
