Motion to Suppress the Evidence
If your Sacramento DUI Lawyer finds that the stop was illegal then any evidence the officer obtained as a result of your arrest may be thrown out by the judge. If this is the case then you have a good chance of beating your DUI on this basis and getting your case thrown out.
- What reason did the officer have to pull you over?
- Were your constitutional rights violated?
- Did the officer read you your Miranda rights?
Only an experienced Criminal Law Attorney can properly evaluate your situation to figure out if and when a Motion to Suppress the Evidence should be filed.
Your attorney may also object to the complaint that was filed in your case. This is a very technical procedure called a demurrer and it must usually be raised before a plea is entered in your case or the opportunity to get your case dismissed on that basis will be lost. This is why it is best to hire an attorney well in advance of your first court appearance so that you can preserve this issue in your case.
If you would like to know what your chances are to get your case dismissed contact a criminal defense attorney ASAP. Most will offer you a free and confidential consultation.
