indiana Probable Cause Lawyer

In any drunk driving case, the law enforcement officer must demonstrate that he or she had probable cause to stop the driver in order to be allowed to testify about evidence against the driver. This means that an officer must justify his or her reasons for stopping a vehicle. If an officer is unable to demonstrate sufficient probable cause for the stop, any evidence found might not be allowed to be used in the case.

Some possible reasons for a vehicle stop:

Moving Violation
Registration / License expired
Suspicious Vehicle or in a Suspicious Place
Involved in an Accident

Even if the officer had probable cause to stop a motorist, the prosecution must offer additional evidence to justify any further investigation, such as field sobriety tests, or arrest. If the additional evidence is not enough to justify the further investigation or arrest, any evidence against the driver the officer obtained as a result of that investigation or arrest will not be allowed as part of the prosecutor’s case, including blood, breath, or urine tests. Lacking sufficient probable cause can result in the suppression of evidence against the driver.
