What is probable cause for a DUI stop?
It is from this police stop that the primary evidence in your case will come. A prosecutor can wield everything from the officer’s testimony to any DUI tests against you. But it is possible for all of this evidence to get tossed out if the officer did not have probable cause in the first place.
- For a police officer to pull you over, he or she must see you commit a traffic violation, something like speeding or running through a stop sign.
- For a police officer to ask you to perform DUI tests or search your car, there must be additional probable cause, such as bloodshot eyes or an open container of alcohol.
- For a police officer to arrest you, there must be more probable cause, such as a failed breath test or a blood test refusal.
If at any point your rights were violated, such as through unreasonable search and seizure or failure to read you the Miranda Rights, it is possible to prove that the police stop and DUI arrest were unlawful.
