Reasonable Suspicion Traffic Stops and DUI

Posted on November 5, 2012 by Dennis Dwyer in criminal law, Drug Law, DUI law

If you are pulled over by a police officer there must be a lawful reason. There are various reasons and some include, speeding, veerying off the road, swerving without reason, headlight(s) out, broken tailight, tinted front windows, not reducing speed or heeding caution in hazardous conditions, involvement in a traffic accident. If you were involved in a traffic stop and arrested for DUI, for it to be a valid stop, the officer must have had reasonable suspicion that you were breaking the law. If not, the State’s case is weak and potentially dismissable. It is always important to follow the law, maintain your car, wear seatbelts, and reduce the possibility of being pulled over.
