DUI Attorney in San Diego

Sobriety Checkpoints and DUI Charges/Arrests

If you or someone you know has been stopped at a sobriety checkpoint and charged with a DUI you need to immediately contact a San Diego DUI lawyer at Mark R. De Yoe, APLC. There is much debate over the constitutionality of sobriety checkpoints. The Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution says that there must be probable cause before law enforcement has the right to search you or your belongings and seize evidence of a crime. This is a very important right and when it is violated prior to any criminal charge, a skilled attorney can often get the charges completely dismissed.

Sobriety checkpoints sometimes violate other rights. When law enforcement targets certain minorities, whether purposefully or not, this too can be a violation of rights.
