Woman Says Field Sobriety Tests Are "Not Necessary" - Then Deputy Warns of an 18-Month License Loss

A passenger tells deputies that being intoxicated does not matter legally. A driver tells a deputy that field sobriety exercises are requested, but not necessary. Each is right about part of the law and wrong about another part. This video examines where the line actually falls, using two roadside encounters caught on body camera. Legal analysis includes: - Florida's disorderly intoxication statute and the role of a public disturbance - The smell of marijuana as probable cause, and the split among Florida appellate courts - Field sobriety exercises versus the implied consent chemical test - State v. Taylor and the admissibility of a refusal - Resisting without violence and the requirement of a lawful duty Fair Use Notice: This video contains body camera footage used under Fair Use (17 U.S.C.
