Football Season, Tampa Bay Bucs and DUI

As football season starts up again and kicks into full swing, football lovers and thousands throughout Tampa and all of Florida will start their celebratory drinking for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and other favorite NFL games. Unfortunately, this means that the rate of DUI arrests and alcohol related accidents will rise sharply as law enforcement begins setting up additional DUI checkpoints, and keeping a watchful eye for drunk drivers on game days.

While celebrating a win or nursing your team's wounded pride after a loss with a cold beer is perfectly acceptable, this can quickly turn into an arrest and a criminal record if you are caught and charged with DUI in Tampa. Don't lose the rest of your sundays this football season to sitting in a jail cell, unable to drive, paying a fine, or doing community service.
