Why Your City Ignores the Constitution in Cases of DUI

From the Declaration of Independence: “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

The constitution itself, is supposed to be applied to everyone, just for being a citizen and not excused on specific criminal charges. That means that someone accused of murder is entitled to the same rights as someone accused of writing a bad check. These rights apply to you simply for being a citizen, not to a specific charge.

For this reason, working with a DUI attorney during your DUI case can be crucial.

The Fourth Amendment DUI Exception – DUI Checkpoints

The Fourth Amendment protects Americans from unreasonable search and seizure by police. That means that police can’t search you or arrest you without probable cause that you’ve committed a crime. But the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that, in the case of DUI sobriety checkpoints (where police can stop cars with no reason, simply to check for drunk drivers), Fourth Amendment rights don’t apply.
