Illegal Police Stops
With experience as a prosecutor, our attorney Thomas J. Mallon knows that police officers will come up with any number of reasons to pull someone over. Did you know that law enforcement officials, including police officers, must have probable cause to pull you over? A police officer cannot simply pull you over for any reason, give you a Breathalyzer and then charge you with a DWI. Before you can be pulled over there must be a reason, including:
- Swerving, obvious driving impairment
- Lights out
- Speeding or other moving violation
- Invalid license plate or stickers
Defeating DWI Charges — Challenging Probable Cause
Our firm is experienced in the defense of drunk driving charges involving illegal stops. We represented one client who was pulled over for driving "too slow" even though he was only driving 5 miles per hour under the speed limit. This is not reason enough to pull someone over and did not rise to the level of probable cause. If you believe that you were pulled over without probable cause, we may be able to challenge the evidence used against you and defeat your underlying DWI charge.
