Washington State DUI Questions & Answers │ Washington State DUI Attorneys

Question: Is it legal to stop me for a DUI charge?
Question Detail: There was no traffic violation committed, can you be stopped for DUI?

You can be stopped/contacted for only three general reasons:

1.      You committed a traffic violation (i.e. speeding);

2.      The officer suspects you of criminal activity- Terry Stop (i.e. severe lane travel and inconsistent speeds); or

3.      Community Caretaking (i.e. you are passed out in a parked car).

Absent one of the above factors an officer cannot stop or contact you.  Be very aware of the officer who gathers together several factual observations and passes them off as “suspicion of criminal activity.”  Many officers and prosecutors alike are more interested in arrest and convictions than necessarily fair play.
