The current
penalties include fines ranging from $250 to $1000 depending on whether the
offence is the first one or a repeated one. DUI may also lead to jail terms for
the offender, which
is a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 30 years, if vehicular homicide is
involved. In addition, vehicles could be confiscated and licenses impounded by
the authorities. In most of the convictions, court orders a mandatory 50-hour
community service for the accused.
The
Florida Department of Highway Security of Motor Vehicles does an excellent job
of keeping track of all records relating to highway offenses. Every detail of
the offense and the offender is stored and kept at an officer’s fingertips for
necessary referrals. Florida FDHSMV and other websites like www.FloridaDL.com
and www.searchdetective.com are public domains, and can also be visited for
records. DUI records help police and other law enforcing agencies in finding out
antecedents of each new DUI offense. The records reveal in detail the actual DUI
offenses and convictions. In Florida, based on whether it is a first, second or
numerous times offense – punishment is dealt accordingly.
