imo...jarod is right about florida law...a little bit of alcohol alone is not reasonable suspicion to conduct any further testing...
Hold on a sec.... How can a police officer smell your breath while you are driving down the road????? Wouldn't there have to be some other thing happen, before the officer was able to smell alcohol on your breath? It defies logic otherwise, unless LEO's have some kine of canine smelling ability I am not aware of.
Observing someone weaving in the road, is all that an officer needs to make a traffic stop! Trust me, I have first hand experience with this. From that point, if they also smell alcohol on your breath, it is reasonable for them to assume you have consumed some amount of alcohol. At that point, probable cause exists to conduct further testing.
