The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution Prohibits Brief Investigatory Stops of Moving Vehicles without “Reasonable Suspicion”

By: Wallin & Klarich

The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution prohibits brief investigatory stops of moving vehicles without “reasonable suspicion” that its occupants have been, are, or are about to be engaged in criminal activity. The concept of “reasonable suspicion” becomes extremely important when facing pending allegations of Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or drugs.

Lack of reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle is a common argument in criminal court, and also at DMV Administrative Per Se License Suspension Hearings. However, what is determined to be “reasonable suspicion” will be left up the judge. You need an aggressive and experienced Southern California criminal defense attorney fighting for you.
