Do You Trust the Police?
Many people accused of drunk driving start to believe that they are guilty. Their belief that the police officers involved are trustworthy causes them to simply accept their punishment.
These people have forgotten one important thing: police officers and prosecutors are there to convict you. Fourth amendment violations happen all the time in drunk driving cases.

Three Things You Should Know
You may have a feeling that there have been violations of your 4th amendment rights. Here are three facts to consider:
- Police must have a valid reason to pull you over: If you were pulled over for a bogus reason, like a mudflap violation, having a license plate light out or something similar, you may have been the victim of 4th amendment violations.
- Police can only investigate the issue they pulled you over for: If you were pulled over for speeding and immediately forced to do field sobriety tests because the cop claimed he or she smelled alcohol, you may have been the victim of 4th amendment violations.
- Police need probable cause to make a DUI arrest: If you were arrested at a sobriety checkpoint or roadblock for no reason at all, you may have been the victim of 4th amendment violations.
This Happens All the Time
Cops step on 4th amendment rights all the time. You wouldn't be the first person to be arrested without probable cause, to be the victim of illegal search and seizure, and you won't be the last.
