DUI Stop Issues and Early Defense Review

DUI cases often begin with a traffic stop or crash investigation. The earliest decisions can shape the entire case.

Informational only: This article is general information, not legal advice. Criminal cases are fact-specific and should be reviewed by counsel.

The stop and detention

The defense should review why the vehicle was stopped and whether law enforcement had a lawful basis to continue the investigation into impairment.

Exercises and testing

Field sobriety exercises, breath testing, refusal issues, and officer observations should be compared against video, reports, and procedure.

  • Basis for the stop.
  • Body camera and dash camera.
  • Field exercise instructions.
  • Breath testing records.
  • Implied-consent warnings.

License and court concerns
