San Diego DUI Sobriety Checkpoints
Sobriety Checkpoints and DUI
If you or someone you know has been stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and it resulted in a DUI you need to immediately contact a San Diego DUI lawyer at DUI Crew. With so much debate over the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints, these cases can be fought. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution states that there must be probable cause for law enforcement to have the right to search you or your belongings and seize evidence of a crime. This is an extremely important right and when it is violated prior to any criminal charge, a skilled attorney often can get the charges completely dismissed.
Sometimes sobriety checkpoints violate other rights as well. When law enforcement targets certain demographics or minorities, whether purposefully or not, this can also be a violation of your rights.
