DUI tip 01
Parked. Asleep.
Still a DUI?
Can you get a DUI while sleeping in your car in Florida?
A closer look at actual physical control and why a parked vehicle can still be part of a Florida DUI case.
Florida's DUI law can apply to driving or being in actual physical control of a vehicle when the law's impairment or alcohol-level conditions are met. Being parked does not by itself resolve the question; the circumstances matter.
Statutory reference: Florida Statutes § 316.193. This page is general legal information, not legal advice about any specific case.

DUI tip 02
Arrested does not mean convicted.
What does an arrest actually mean — and what still has to happen next?
An arrest starts a case. It does not decide one.
An arrest is an accusation. It starts a case; it does not decide one. The State still has to file the charge and then prove it, and a person is presumed innocent until that happens.
Between the arrest and any resolution there is paperwork to review, evidence to examine, deadlines to protect, and decisions to make. That window is where a defense is built.

DUI tip 03
Field sobriety exercises, explained.
What are roadside exercises — and what are they not?
A plain-language look at the physical and divided-attention tasks an officer may ask a driver to perform.
Field sobriety exercises are physical and divided-attention tasks an officer may ask a driver to perform at the roadside. They are graded on an officer's observations, and things like footwear, surface, lighting, nerves, injuries, and medical conditions can affect how someone performs.
They are not breath, blood, or urine testing — those are separate procedures with their own rules and consequences. Sabrina walks through the roadside exercises, including whether they are voluntary, in her video explanation.
