Do you suspect an unlawful police stop occurred in your DWI case? Talk to Lipsitz Green Scime Cambria.

If you are accused of a DWI, you might think there’s nothing you can do to fight it. But it is possible to wage a defense against drunk driving charges, especially in cases of an unlawful police stop. Law enforcement officers can sometimes be too eager to make an arrest, or they might not be following proper procedure. 

The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects your rights against unreasonable government intrusion, including unwarranted police stops. Before the police can pull you over for DWI, they must have a valid reason to believe that you are driving drunk. They either need to be alerted by a witness, or they must see you exhibiting signs of intoxication for themselves.

Possible signs of intoxication:

  • Weaving in and out of lanes
  • Drifting over center line
  • Excessive speed or extreme low speeds
  • Disobeying traffic signals
  • Driving without headlights
