I took a breath test and was still not released - Why?
Florida DUI law requires that drivers be held an minimum of 8 hours after completing a breath test of over .08. Some jails will give an additional breath test to determine release, usually when a breath result of .08 or below is achieved. Police will not "un-arrest" a driver, even if the accused blows under a .08 .
