As I previously explained in a blog about Tampa ‘s Police Department conducting the same type of “investigation” these “investigations” have no teeth. If you really want to fix your problems you need an independent critical eye looking at the police investigation. That means a DUI defense attorney must be on the investigative team. Defense attorneys are the people who find problems with the breath test machine, police paperwork, search warrants, and endless other issues. Self-policing does not work. DUI lawyers that file motions to suppress and public record requests for documents the police and prosecutors do not hand over are the ones that insure fairness and justice are served and our constitutional rights are protected.
If you have been arrested, call an attorney that knows what to look for and how to defend you in court.

Now, the FBI is investigating this DUI arrest. TPD has begun its own “investigation” of its DUI unit. So who is on this “”investigative team”? A former circuit judge who rarely heard DUI cases in felony court. A statewide prosecutor who’s office rarely handles DUI cases. Someone from FDLE who recently had their own problems when the head of the Alcohol Testing Department, which is responsible for the integrity of Florida’s breath test machines, was forced to resign or was fired for her own issues. Then there are two former DUI supervisors who are probably responsible for training the DUI unit currently in place. Where are the DUI defense attorneys? We are the ones that look at the issues with a critical eye and know what the problems are with DUI enforcement. When an attorney files a Motion to Suppress and alleges that the officer violated a driver’s constitutional rights or misinterpreted the law, we are the ones training these officers. DUI attorneys know the law better than anyone. So I do not have a lot of confidence that this “investigation” will improve the DUI unit’s performance at all.
If you have been arrested for DUI, call a Polk County DUI defense lawyer that is ready and has the knowledge to fight for you in court!
