Yes, you can. Even if you blow below the legal limit on the breathalyzer, they can calculate the alcohol dissipation to determine what your BAC was at the time of whatever incident they're responding to.

Added: While the above is a perfectly true, valid answer, the responding officer MUST witness you either driving or sitting behind the wheel of the vehicle in order to charge you. That is the only way that you can be cited for being "in control" of the vehicle. Merely being intoxicated or impaired at the scene (but NOT behind the wheel) is not sufficient to make the case in court of "being in control of the vehicle."

If you had an accident and it wasnt your fault does it go in your driving record?

If the police came out and made a report of it then it will be on your driving record. It will be a not-at-fault accident but it will still be on your driving record. If the police did not come out but your insurance knows about it then it will be on your CLUE report and be a not-at-fault accident.

Was Sabrina Aisenberg found?

To date, Sabrina has not been found. Her parents were, almost always, the primary suspects in Sabrina's disappearance but they were never charged or tried. Although the case would be defined as a 'Cold Case,' there probably is someone who is still pursuing it -- probably unofficially by a member of the Tampa police department.


If a woman had filled out a police report on her husband because she said she was assaulted and there was no evidence could he still be charged?

No because it's illegal to have a false reporting when it didn't really happen. So instead the wife will be charged to prison for so many years for making up a report to the police.
