Fighting a California DUI Checkpoint Arrest

Visit: https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/dui/laws... Or call: (855) 999-7755 Arrested at a DUI checkpoint? We'll show you how to fight the case. If the cops didn't follow the correct procedures, it may be possible to get your case dismissed on that basis alone! Perhaps one of the most interesting requirements is that you must have the opportunity to drive away from the checkpoint if you don't wish to stop. If you choose to exercise this right, you cannot legally be stopped for doing so unless you (1) commit a traffic violation, or (2) display signs of obvious intoxication.7 As Darrell York, a top Ventura County DUI attorney explained, "When I have a client who is arrested at a California DUI checkpoint, I not only investigate the charge that he was driving under the influence...by exploring all the 'typical' California DUI defenses...but I also critically examine the sobriety checkpoint itself to see if all of the legal requirements that relate to these DUI traps are satisfied. When they are not, I can use these fatal flaws to help acquit my client."
