There are a variety of reasons that a police officer might pull over a person for suspicion of drunk driving, such as: changing lanes often, swerving, excessive braking, improper signaling, or driving at slow speeds. Performing any of these actions does not prove that a person is driving drunk.

Certain factors must be taken into account to determine whether or not a person is guilty of drunk driving. First, the arresting officer must have reason to believe that you were intoxicated to pull you over. Next, the arrest has to have taken place legally. Finally, a blood alcohol test has to be performed to determine if the person was over the legal limit while driving. An experienced drunk driving defense lawyer at McGregor & Ernenwein can help build your defense using any discrepancies regarding how or why the arrest occurred and the accuracy of the chemical test.
