What makes a police stop legal?

When a person is arrested for DUI, the police must have certain pieces of evidence to make such an arrest. For example, they must either have a test result that indicated impairment, such as a breathalyzer or field sobriety test.
They cannot arrest an individual just because they suspect they are intoxicated or they smell alcohol on their breath, and the officer must have some type of reasonable cause to charge an individual. Just like there must be reasonable cause for an arrest, there must be reasonable cause for a police stop in the first place.
Some examples of legal reasons an officer can pull you over include:
If you believe an officer didn’t have reasonable cause to pull you over, you might be able to get evidence suppressed or even have your charges dropped entirely! However, it is important to remember that it is your word against a police officer’s. Therefore, you will need a qualified DUI attorney in Birmingham to represent you in and out of the courtroom!
