Under Florida law, it is illegal for any person under 21 years of age to operate a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol. If a person is under 21, and has a blood alcohol content of .02 percent of higher, they can be charged with underage DUI. A BAC level at or above .02 percent is evidence of a violation of the law, and underage violators will be charged accordingly. Police officers, prosecutors, and judges tend to be rather tough on underage drinkers in an effort to deter any future delinquent behaviors. Their outlook is that if underage drinkers are punished severely for their actions, they are less likely to commit other crimes, including DUI in the future. Because of this, it is imperative that you have representation from a DUI lawyer who is qualified and experienced in handling underage drinking charges.
