Clocked at 86 in a 55 — Seconds Later She’s Fighting Deputies

Clocked at 86 in a 55, a driver tells deputies she hasn't had anything to drink — then refuses every field sobriety test as the smell of alcohol gets harder to explain away. What starts as a speeding ticket turns into a DUI arrest, a struggle over the handcuffs, and two separate charges. • Traffic Stop — Whren v. United States, 517 U.S. 806 (1996): a single observed violation is enough to justify a stop, whatever the officer's unstated motive • DUI Arrest — Fla. Stat. § 316.193: an officer can arrest for DUI on the totality of what they observe, smell, and hear, no roadside breath test required • Key evidence: 86 mph in a 55 zone, odor of alcohol, refused field sobriety exercises, empty hard seltzer cans found in the vehicle #dui #bodycam #fieldsobriety
