On March 31, 2024 — Easter Sunday — a Florida marine patrol officer stopped a jet boat in an idle speed zone after observing wake generation and bow elevation inconsistent with idle speed requirements. The vessel operator, who had purchased the boat in Georgia just four days earlier, was without her registration and had an odor of alcohol on her breath. What followed was a field sobriety assessment, arrest, and refusal of a lawfully requested breath test. ⚖️ Legal Analysis Includes: - Florida Statute § 327.35 — Boating Under the Influence - Florida Statute § 327.352 — Implied Consent (Vessels) - Florida Statute § 327.65 — Idle Speed / Minimum Wake Zones - Terry v.
