Sarasota County, unlike Hillsborough or Pinellas County, have a court assigned to DUIs that was established in 2008 to cut back on the number of repeat DUI arrests. Similar to drug court, DUI court does so by providing alternative sentencing geared towards rehabilitation rather than punishment. Often, the probationary requirements of DUI court can exceed that of a non-DUI court plea depending on the number off DUI offenses one has committed. But in many cases, it can be the better option.
