How can Fla. Sheriff's Dept give a DUI to bicycle rider without probable cause?

Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
You certainly can get a DUI on a bicycle in Florida. The public policy behind this law is that you may hurt yourself or cause a traffic accident by riding your bicycle while impaired.  The facts you have mentioned pertain to the basis for the traffic stop and not whether you were impaired. A police officer does not have to have probable cause to make a traffic stop, only a reasonable belief that you violated a traffic law. Once he is in contact with you if he has reason to believe you are impaired, such as smelling alcohol, then he has probable cause to begin a dui investigation.

If the officer no longer employed how will this effect my case?

Possibly. The officer could theoretically still show up to court, however, it is a lot less likely whether the officer will show. If the officer does not show up for your trial then the case will likely be dismissed.

You will have a court date and opportunity to explain why you failed to appear for probation.  In the future you could have called the probation officer instead of simply not showing up.  If you have proof of your family emergency show the court. You are technically in violation, and therefore I would  admit the violation,and ask the court to let you give an explanation. Then ask that you be allowed to continue on probation. Show remorse and tell the judge that this wont happen again. If you deny the violation the state will have an easy time proving, because either you reported or you didn't.
