Police Misconduct in DWI Arrests

Police officers are not supposed to pull someone over unless they were tipped off by another driver or unless the officer witnessed unusual driving behavior. If you were pulled over at random, you have grounds for defense. Law enforcement officers must also be sure to conduct field sobriety tests and breathalyzer tests correctly. Any mistake in these areas, such as improper administration of tests or mishandling of test results, could also be grounds for defense.
