Above is the Fair DUI flyer for Florida. See the previous post for how it is used. I noticed a change in the strategy since the last time they used it. Previously, they held the license, registration and insurance up to the window. This time, they put it in a bag and dangled it out the window. I didn’t think much of it, but a commenter on the video asked the question and was told that Florida has changed the law in the last few months to say that you have to hand the documents to the officer.

I found similar laws in Colorado. Hopefully, I can have the people at Fairdui.org review the flyer and they can post it on their website for Colorado. Here is what I’ve found so far.

42-2-115. License, permit, or identification card to be exhibited on demand

(1) No person who has been issued a driver’s or minor driver’s license or an instruction permit or an identification card as defined in section 42-2-301 (2), who operates a motor vehicle in this state, and who has such license, permit, or identification card in such person’s immediate possession shall refuse to remove such license, permit, or identification card from any billfold, purse, cover, or other container and to hand the same to any peace officer who has requested such person to do so if such peace officer reasonably suspects that such person is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a violation of article 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 of this title.

(2) Any person who violates any provision of this section commits a class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense.

42-4-1707 (6) If the defendant does possess a valid Colorado driver’s license, the defendant shall not be required to execute a promise to appear on the penalty assessment notice or on the summons and complaint. The peace officer shall not require any person who is eligible to be issued a summons and complaint or a penalty assessment notice for a violation of this title to produce or divulge such person’s social security number.
