DUI — Looking at Procedural Missteps
Your case may involve serious violations of your constitutional rights. Every case we accept begins with a comprehensive and thorough review of your facts and circumstances. In some cases, law enforcement officers may have failed to comply with your statutory and/or constitutional rights. Each DWI/DUI case begins with the application of the rights all Americans enjoy under the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution. In North Carolina, this means that the Police Officer must have reasonable suspicion to pull you over, and then he/she must properly form probable cause in order to place you under arrest.
Once you have been transported to the law enforcement center for a collection of your breath sample, the chemical analyst must possess proper licenses to operate the Intoxilyzer or Electro Chemical Infrared R2 device that is used to determine the level of alcohol in your system. These are just a few of the issues that are involved in virtually every DWI/DUI case and that require the knowledge and experience of a professional criminal defense attorney.
