Marathon, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

This is a very jurisdiction-specific and fact-specific question. Why was he on pretrial release at the time of his DUI? Where did this happen? Each county has its own procedures and criteria for pretrial release. If the original charge was alcohol-related (like another DUI), then it is not unlikely that they will hold him in jail until both charges are disposeed. Judges are just lawyers who didn't like practicing law. They do not want to be forced out of office by releasing some alleged drunk driver who can't stay sober and off the roads. On the other hand, if your bf was on pretrial release (ROR) for some relatively innocuous charge (say, shoplifting) there is a better chance that the court will grant him a bond. Especially since he has served a month already. Good luck. 

Most officers do not like the dash cams or don't like to record how they conducted the FST. Commonly, the FST will be performed outside of the view of the camera. Most officers will say that it just didn't record the FST or for some reason the recording device was not on, tape was lost, ect. This is not a reason for the case to be dismissed or a violation of your rights. However, it would be relevant in a jury trial and the jury can decide if there was or was not something to hide. If you are being charged with DUI, you should consult and retain a local DUI attorney. This may be one defense that you have to the charges.

If that is your only DUI Florida will require you to fulfill those obligations and prove to Colorado that you did them and Colorado will need to clear your license.  When they do, Florida should give you a license.  I would call your attorney in colorado to see how to do that.
