Can they really charge me with if I was arrested for DUI but I wasn't driving and the keys weren't in the ignition?

Probably not DUI, but similar cases do get charged as physical control under the influence; and the penalties are the same as DUI. Whether the keys are in the ignition or not is not the final answer. You should talk to a lawyer about your case right away, and make sure you contact DOL about any potential license suspensions.

If you blow a 1.0, didn't completely fail the sobriety test, but when blood was taken it was lower then 0.08, can or should it be thrown out?

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. The short answer is that it may not be thrown out, but it might be defensible. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case, (and) advise you of your options.

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.
