If you are charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, you may be taken into custody and booked at the county jail. However, it does not mean that you are guilty of the crime. In some cases, it may be possible to have the charge reduced through a plea or even dropped because of a lack of evidence, especially when a DUI lawyer presents any of these defenses. Was the Traffic Stop Legal? The first question an attorney will ask is whether or not the traffic stop leading to the charge was legal. If you were asked to pull over at a checkpoint, any resulting DUI charge will be dismissed if your interaction with the police did not follow the guidelines of the checkpoint. If you were pulled over without probable cause for an officer to stop you, any resulting DUI charge could be dropped.
