If a person is charged with a DUI, there may be a couple of things that can help them to fight the charge. This may mean that they will have the charges completely dropped, or it may mean that they will not have to pay certain fines or even spend time in jail.

 

Challenge the Reason You Were Stopped

One of the aspects that a San Diego DUI Attorneys may look at is the reason why you were actually stopped. Some police officers may say that a person was weaving or driving in a way that led them to believe that the person was driving under the influence of alcohol or a drug. However, if there is not a reasonable excuse for the officer to have pulled you over, the court may decide to drop the charges. For example, if the person was weaving in their own the lean, this would not be considered a reasonable excuse for an officer to pull over an individual. Basically, the officer needs to have a real reason for stopping a person. The reason needs to be articulated well and described in much detail.
