Flo Rida Busted for DUI In Super-EXPENSIVE Car

Rapper Flo Rida -- the guy behind the smash hit, "Low" -- was busted for drunk driving in Miami Beach this morning in one of the most expensive cars on the planet!!!!

Law enforcement sources say ... 31-year-old Flo Rida was driving around in his red and black 2008 Bugatti -- valued around $1.7 million -- when cops observed the rapper swerving in his lane and pulled him over around 3:30 AM.

During the stop, cops detected the odor of alcohol -- so Flo was given a field sobriety test ... and didn't perform very well.

Flo -- real name Tramar Dillard -- was arrested on suspicion of DUI and taken to a nearby station where he is currently being booked.

Cops say Flo's blood alcohol level was .185 ... more than twice the legal limit.

UPDATE: According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops say a large crowd gathered around Flo after cops had pulled him over.

Several bystanders were "trying to get officers to let [Flo Rida] go. Some individuals were offering to drive [Flo] home."

When the officer tried to conduct a "walk the line" test -- Flo told the cop, "Officer I can't do this. I don't feel I can walk a straight line. I had a few drinks. Let's try another test."

Flo then tried to convince the officer, "I can make it home." Cops didn't let him try.

Cops say they ran a computer check on Flo -- and cited the rapper when they learned his driver's license had been suspended last month for failing to pay a traffic fine.

DUIs themselves are bad enough, but driving with a suspended license is just as bad or worse. It is a form of contempt for the entire legal system and the priviledge of driving. The article doesn't say what happened to him after the formal booking at the police station, but, in many states, even with a slick lawyer, he could easily wind up here................

He bought a $1.7 million dollar car and didn't pay a traffic fine?

As much money as he has, why doesn't he just pay someone to drive him home? Certainly it isn't difficult to find a sober person that wants to drive a Bugatti.

Honestly, first time DUIs are a joke. I know people with over 2 DUIs that have never gone to jail. The worst I know of is an acquaintance of mine went to jail Monday at 10AM - Friday 5PM for 1 month; he was free to do whatever he wanted on the weekends. I believe one of them was a DWI, even.

Yes, I agree that a first-time DUI, though significant, probably will not put you in the pokey. But, combine it with other charges, especially a serious one like a suspended/revoked licence, and the state can't just look the other way....action often has to be taken.
