Case: 6229-XAE

The Judge GRANTED the motion to exclude the roadsides pursuant to Florida case law and excluded the field sobriety tests from evidence. Florida case law states when an officer is acting outside his jurisdiction, he is considered a civilian and has no right to gain access to evidence that a normal person would not be able to gather, such as field sobriety tests. In other words, the only reason the defendant submitted to the tests is because the officer was in uniform and driving in a marked patrol unit. When the motion was granted, the State DROPPED THE DUI.
