What is DUI Stop

A DUI arrest is always preceded by a traffic stop whether the police executive suspects drunk driving or has stopped a motorist for an unconnected reason such as a burned out taillight. While the Fourth Amendment protects citizens from unlawful search and seizure, refusing to cooperate with an officer typically is not in the best interests of a stopped motorist. Nevertheless, there are still ways to protect your rights when a police officer stops you for a DUI. Find Law's "DUI Stop" subsection covers DUI defenses throughout and after a traffic stop your rights under the Fourth Amendment the validity of sobriety checkpoints and more.
