Driver was unlawfully arrested.

In every case whether it is for a DUI or any criminal offense it is important to determine whether the officer had probable cause to make an arrest. Probable cause is where there is sufficient reason based on various facts to believe a crime was. committed. Law enforcement are trained to make these decisions in the academy and sometimes with a field training officer. However, in the real world making a decision to arrest is not always easy.If you were arrested for a DUI or some other criminal offense, there is still a chance to win your case if the officer in your case made an illegal arrest without probable cause. This defense can depend on several factors whether the officer actually observed a crime, whether illegal evidence was obtained before the arrest, or the arresting officer simply was wrong and should not have arrested you.The law Office of Daniel P.
