Casey actively researches Tampa DUI cases and does field investigation of criminal traffic and law enforcement activities in Tampa DUI cases. For example, Casey recently reviewed a Checkpoint decision. In a Florida Driving under influence case, checkpoint procedures were not followed and a Court tossed the charges for that failure. Guidelines must be followed. The court found support for the argument that testimony of officer was insufficient to establish that he operated checkpoint within guidelines and without exercising discretion.

In this case, the state failed to show that officers attended pre-deployment meeting to be advised of guidelines, The trial court Order granting motion to suppress was affirmed. Source: 17 FLWSupp 434a

Casey went live to a Tampa DUI Driving Under The Influence Checkpoint and monitored law enforcement procedures. Our video of that night can be viewed below:
