Скачать или смотреть Police Use Ridiculous Test To Arrest Boater for BUI

On 8/24/24, while patrolling Pinellas County, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) officers observed a vessel violating the slow speed zone near Johns Pass Sandbar. The operator was informed of the reason for the stop and a boating safety inspection was initiated. The operator, appearing confused, struggled to retrieve requested safety items. A strong odor of alcohol was detected, and when questioned, the operator admitted to drinking "just one beer."
The operator agreed to perform seated Standardized Field Sobriety Tasks (SFSTs), validated by the Southern California Research Institute, the United States Coast Guard, and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators. During the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) task, six signs of impairment were observed, exceeding the threshold for impairment. The Finger-to-Nose task revealed 15 signs of impairment, including failure to follow instructions, hesitation, and missing the target. During the Palm Pat task, the operator demonstrated multiple errors, and in the Hand Coordination task, they failed to adhere to timing instructions.
Based on these observations, the operator was arrested for Boating Under the Influence (BUI). The vessel was released to a friend, and the operator was transported to the Pinellas County Jail. Initially agreeing to provide a breath sample, the operator became uncooperative, refused testing after being read the implied consent notice, and requested legal counsel. It was explained this constituted a refusal.
The operator was charged with BUI and cited for refusal to submit to testing and violating the slow speed zone.
