Groveland, FL DUI Law Firms & Lawyers

Florida doesn't care if you are driving or?moving; the issue is whether you are in "actual physical control". Most Judges say that if you are asleep in a car (front or back seat) and the keys are in the cabin then you re in APC.

It sounds like this matter is in Eaton County since they are known for their Fast Track Programs for DUIs . I would strongly suggest retaining counsel and then taking steps as soon as possible to get this matter taken care of which will include turning yourself in. It only gets worse the longer you wait. Be prepared for some jail time as that is probably a likelihood at this point, but at least you will have the relief of knowing the matter is resolved and you can move on with your life without constant fear of running into the police. Good luck.

That can happen. Typically on a DUI plea or conviction the Court orders that the car the defendant was driving be impounded for ten days as that is required under the law. Most judges will either waive that requirement or allow another car to be impounded. Impounded means not used for ten days. The impoundment of the car can be a company comes out and puts a lock on the car. If the car was impounded (literally) during the arrest then there could be other issues such as drugs found in the car or some other reason the car was impounded.
