Fair DUI Flyer for Colorado

Fair-DUI-FL-Flyer-1

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.

Arrests Threatened

This is one of Jeff Gray’s most viewed videos, even though it was only posted a few days ago. Everything he did was perfectly legal.

However, two evil, statist Florida sheriffs have threatened to arrest anyone who tries it in their county.

“I challenge him…to please come to Lee County and drive around,” Lee County Sheriff Mike Scott said. “Eventually he’ll find one of our checkpoints and he’ll try his luck. He’ll go to jail.”

“It’s about doing the right thing and we are trying to do the right thing to protect the public and keep drunks who kill people off the road,” Gualtieri, Pinellas County Sheriff, said.

“The deputy can’t assess the person. And, if you can’t assess them, you are obstructing the investigation,” Gualtieri said.

“Just because you dangle in a bag with your drivers license, insurance card and registration out the window doesn’t mean you’re not drunk.”

I emailed both sheriffs and asked them to add me to their checkpoint notification list. Give me liberty or give me death.
