Unlawful Police Stops and DUI Arrests in Illinois

It is an unfortunate truth that at times an unlawful police stop will lead to a Lake County DUI arrest, charges and eventually a conviction. If you believe that the arresting officer may not have had a reason to pull you over for suspected drunk driving, we recommend that you consult an attorney at Fagan, Fagan & Davis as soon as possible. We will be happy to review your situation during a free consultation.

Law enforcement must have probable cause to make an arrest for DUI in Illinois. This starts with the initial police stop, where the law enforcement officer flashes his lights to indicate that you need to pull over to the side of the road. But what happens if the officer did not observe any behavior that is indicative of intoxication or a person who is driving under the influence (DUI)? This may be what is referred to as an unlawful police stop – and you have every right to fight this. With an experienced and aggressive defense lawyer at your side, this can be proven in court proceedings and you can therefore avoid the harsh penalties associated with an Illinois DUI conviction.
