A Florida DUI charge can take on many different forms. A DUI charge can come from impaired driving from use of prescribed or not prescribed medication, illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages or any combination of the three. One common misconception about DUI is that the prosecutor must show that the defendant was drunk when they were driving-in actuality, the state only has to show that the driver was over the legal limits of alcohol consumption, OR had drugs or alcohol in their system that impaired their "normal faculties" to prove their case against you.

The state has a variety of ways to prove their case against a defendant. For example, the driver's level of medications, drugs or alcohol in their system can be tested by breath tests, urine tests or blood tests. But, even if the State Prosecutors don't have these "scientific" tests at their disposal, the state can enforce a DUI charge if a breath, urine or blood test is refused and the police officer believes, based on the actions of the defendant, that they could not maintain their normal faculties due to being under the influence of medication, illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages or any combination of the three.
