Chicago DUI Lawyers Examine: Evidence Tossed In DUI Arrests

Here’s an interesting case from Florida that demonstrates the importance of having an aggressive DUI attorney to fight your DUI charges:

Evidence Tossed In DUI Arrests

A judge threw out evidence in three drunken driving cases Thursday because the sheriff’s office did not follow its plan for a DUI checkpoint on U.S. 41 in Palmetto, Florida.

The ruling cripples the DUI cases, and defense attorneys already are planning to file similar motions that would challenge cases from that checkpoint and four or five others in the county.

The law requires specific plans for the checkpoints that limit the decisions deputies can make at the scene. That aims to prevent officers from picking and choosing who to stop for any unlawful reason, such as racial profiling.

If you have been arrested for DUI in or around Chicago, it’s important to meet with a good Chicago DUI lawyer so that you can begin to fight your case immediately. Often times, as the story above shows us, the police use tactics that may appear to be legal but are actually illegal and cannot be used to support a charge of DUI.
