Q: What do you call the new law that can avoid a DUI conviction if you are first offender? Legal Name? criminal traffic law. I know there is a new law/statue in Florida that if you are a license driver and receive a first offence driving under the influence you can be eligible to avoid conviction granted other circumstances apply. What is the official name of this? It was passed very recently in 2013. Thank you. (criminal traffic offence)

Its a creation of the Miami-Dade County State Attorney’s Office. It is a diversionary program called “Back on Track”. Some other counties have their own such programs for DUI, others do not.
It is essentially like any other diversionary program: Meaning that if this is your first offense and if you meet the criteria then it is almost certain that you will be eligible for “BOT”.
All diversion programs have the same goal: They are designed to make you think twice about future criminality by way of making you jump through a series of proverbial hoops during a period of supervision, successful completion of which results in a dismissal. The program is owned and operated by the State Attorney’s Office and they have absolute and unequivocal discretion as to whether to admit you, keep you or “graduate” you from their program.
Knowing that, the question now is whether or not diversion is right for you. There may or may not be viable defenses to the charges, affirmative or otherwise, or there may be factual, legal, procedural or substantive mechanisms by which to attack and beat the charges without going through diversion.
The best way for you to get competent advise is going to be to have a face-to-face meeting with a criminal defense lawyer who can follow-up on your information with questions of her/his own, as well as review the police reports and citations and then offer an informed opinion. And this especially holds true in regard to DUIs. (In Miami, as a condition to entering BOT, you must sign an irrefutable confession. Read my Legal Guide and you’ll get the idea. Then talk to an experienced lawyer and make an informed and prudent decision.)
Please take a look at my Avvo Legal Guide on diversion in Florida. It contains a great deal of information on the subject and should be helpful to you.
