Florida DUI Defense · Officer Lookup
The officer who stopped your DUI client has a public record. Pull it before the breath test goes in.
A Florida DUI case turns on the arresting officer — the stop, the field-sobriety tests, the breath-test operation. Officer Lookup runs that officer's complaint history, FDLE/CJSTC certification discipline, and use-of-force record, every entry cited to the underlying public record.

In a DUI case, the arresting officer is the case.
Probable cause for the stop, the field-sobriety administration, the observation period before the breath test — every link runs through one officer's account. A prior complaint or a certification-discipline action is impeachment material for cross-examination and foundation for the motion to suppress. Florida applies the Daubert reliability standard in its courts, so the officer's reliability is squarely open to challenge.
The records are public, but scattered across complaint datasets and FDLE/CJSTC certification exports — hours of pulling, per officer. Officer Lookup runs them in one search and cites every row to the record it came from, so the output works as exhibit foundation, not a tip.

A complaint record is not a finding of misconduct. Entries are source-backed leads for attorney review, not Brady/Giglio determinations. Coverage is Florida and six other live jurisdictions — not all 50 states. All data is drawn from the named public source.
Frequently asked questions
- Why does the arresting officer's record matter for my charge?
- Most charges turn on the officer's account — the basis for the stop, the search, the recovery, or the arrest decision. A documented pattern of prior complaints, discipline, or use-of-force incidents is impeachment material for the suppression hearing and for cross-examination of that officer.
- Is a complaint or discipline record a finding of misconduct?
- No. Every entry is a source-backed lead cited to the underlying public record, for attorney review — not a Brady/Giglio determination and not a finding of misconduct. You apply your professional judgment to what it means for your case.
- How much does it cost?
- The officer search is a free preview. The full source-cited report for a named officer is $147, with a 7-day refund if it is not usable.
- Can I use this for a suppression hearing or cross-examination?
- That is what it is built for. Every row is cited to the public record it came from, so the output works as exhibit foundation rather than a tip. How you authenticate and present it for the record is counsel's call.
