Officers Struggle to Keep a Straight Face During DUI Investigation

Video Description

In this video, we're taking a closer look at a DUI investigation that happened on February 23, 2024 in Florida after an officer stopped a woman suspected of driving on a suspended license. The officer had been conducting a property check in the same parking lot where the woman had been driving. The woman exited the parking lot, made a u-turn, and returned to the area. After running a tag check on the vehicle and being notified that the registered owner had a suspended license, he initiated a traffic stop. Editor's note: We created this breakdown video after reviewing the case footage and editing it for context, narrative structure, and clarity in order to highlight the key moments of the officers' DUI investigation. This BCW video highlights the transition from an investigative detention to arrest through the application of the NHTSA-validated Standardized Field Sobriety Tests used to quantify physiological impairment.
