Verifying the Facts of Your Drunk Driving Arrest
Drunk driving is one of the leading causes of auto accidents today. That's why many courts crack down heavily on those convicted of driving under the influence (DUI). However, not everyone who is stopped for suspected DUI is actually guilty of it. Many factors can lead to apparent erratic driving, and just because you have alcohol in your system at the time of arrest does not mean you are a criminal.
If you have been stopped for suspected DUI, you need a skilled criminal defense lawyer like me, Peter Buh. I have spent 19 years handling DUI cases throughout the western communities of Chicago, Illinois, including Carol Stream. When I take your case, I will tell you the truth about your options and give you my honest opinion about your defense.
What Do Police Officers Look For?
A traffic cop is trained to look for erratic driving behavior. If a police officer suspects someone of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, he or she has usually observed unusual driving patterns such as:
- Weaving
- Speeding
- Wide turns
- Quick stops
- Failure to follow road guides and signs
- Other inappropriate driving patterns
Regardless of whether you consumed alcohol or not, a law enforcement officer must have a valid and verifiable reason to pull you over. I thoroughly investigate the legitimacy of your arrest and whether your rights were kept during the stop. If you were not read your rights, or if the officer had no valid reason to stop you in the first place, I can motion to suppress Breathalyzer results and other evidence against you or have your case dismissed altogether.
