Question: How do I know if my DUI arrest was legal?
Question Detail: I was pulled over for a DUI and the officer did not say I had violated any traffic laws. He just suspected that I had been drinking, because according to him I was swerving in the lanes. How do I know if this is legal? When is a cop legally allowed to pull you over and charge you for a DUI?
Law enforcement needs probable cause to stop/contact you and also probable cause to arrest you.  In real person terms this means an officer needs a valid reason to stop you.  He cannot just stop you because he suspects you were drinking.  If your driving was erratic the officer needs to articulate the observations – whether he had enough to stop you can be determined by an attorney (and perhaps a Judge later).  To arrest you the officer needs more than “mere suspicion” that you’re driving under the influence.  You really need to have an attorney review your case.
