Orlando DUI Penalties

There are numerous penalties associated with a DUI arrest and conviction. First, you face license suspension if you are arrested for DUI and either fail or refuse breath or blood testing to determine your blood alcohol concentration. Second, you may face imprisonment, fines, community service, DUI school, probation, alcohol treatment and license suspension if you are found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. To be found guilty, the prosecution must prove that you were operating a motor vehicle while with a blood alcohol level that is above the legal limit, and/or if your physical or mental abilities were impaired due to alcohol or drugs.
