Challenge DUI Stop Legality
Understanding Your Rights at a Traffic Stop
When you see those flashing lights in your rearview mirror, your heart might skip a beat. It's crucial to remember in that moment, that you have rights that protect you during a traffic stop. At Cirkiel Law Group, we're here to enlighten you on what those rights are and how they can be your strongest ally in a DUI defense. Knowing your rights can sometimes be the difference between a conviction and an acquittal.
As you roll down your window and the officer approaches, keep in mind that every detail counts. Something as simple as the reason why the officer stopped you can be challenged in court. That's why we are committed to helping drivers across the nation understand these critical moments and fight for their rights.
If you ever find yourself in such a situation, don't hesitate to reach out to us. Our experienced attorneys are ready to scrutinize the legality of your traffic stop and help build a formidable defense. Get in touch with us at (512) 244-6658, and let's steer your case towards a favorable outcome.
The Importance of Knowing the Reason for Your Stop
Imagine this: you're driving home, and suddenly, you're being pulled over. The officer must have a valid reason, or what's referred to in legal terms as "probable cause". If they don't, this can be a powerful point in your defense. Here's why knowing the reason for your stop matters:
It could shed light on whether the officer had a legal basis to pull you over in the first place. Without probable cause, any evidence gathered during an unlawful stop might be inadmissible in court. Think of it as the domino that can topple an ill-founded DUI charge.
Your Right to Remain Silent
You've heard it on TV shows, but it rings true in real life you have the right to remain silent. This means you do not have to answer potentially incriminating questions. For example, if an officer asks you if you've had anything to drink, you're not legally required to answer. Instead, you can politely state that you'd like to speak with an attorney.
Exercising this right could prevent you from providing the police with information that could be used against you later on. Cirkiel Law Group can't stress enough how critical it is to stay calm and collected, and to know when to exercise your right to remain silent.
Refusing Roadside Sobriety Tests
Did you know that you might have the option to refuse roadside sobriety tests in some states? It's a little-known fact that could change the course of your defense. However, it's important to understand the potential consequences of refusal, such as automatic license suspension. Keeping informed is key.
Understanding your state's laws regarding sobriety tests is another area where Cirkiel Law Group shines. Our team stays up-to-date on the intricacies of DUI law across the country so that we can advise our clients accordingly.
The Role of Dashcam and Bodycam Footage
In an era where cameras are everywhere, footage from law enforcement dashcams and bodycams can be a game-changer in your defense. This evidence can provide a clear picture of what happened during your stop and help determine whether your rights were violated.
Our legal experts often review such footage in detail, searching for any discrepancies or errors made by officers during the stop that might support your case. A keen eye can spot something small that has big implications for your defense.

Assessing the Officer's Conduct
There's a standard of conduct that law enforcement must uphold during traffic stops. Our attorneys take a deep dive into whether the officer in your case maintained this standard from start to finish. If they didn't, it could provide significant leverage for your defense.
Through detailed examinations and consultations with our clients, we make sure no detail is overlooked. It's this attentive approach that helps us challenge the charges brought against our clients.
Evaluating the Evidence Against You
The evidence presented in a DUI case isn't always as cut and dried as it may seem. From breathalyzer accuracy to the admissibility of certain testimonies, there's a lot to consider. That's where our years of hands-on experience become invaluable.
We scrutinize the evidence, often identifying weak points that can be used to our clients' advantage. Let's face it, the difference between guilt and innocence can sometimes hang on a single piece of evidence or its rightful exclusion.
