Have You Been Charged with a DUI?

Have You Been Charged with Another Type of Crime?

Stopping You For One Crime When Police Suspect Another Is Illegal

A pretextual stop occurs when the police pull you over for a broken taillight or failing to use a turn signal when they really want to see if you have been drinking. Pulling someone over on the pretext of one crime based solely on the officer’s belief of another crime is illegal. If you have had this happen to you, the Law Offices of Patrick F. Lauer, Jr. LLC, will help.

Attorney Patrick F. Lauer Jr. has represented more than 5,000 people accused of driving under the influence. He has seen the police perform illegal traffic stops routinely.

‘I Want My Attorney’ Are The Only Words You Should Say

It is critical to give as little information to the police as possible during every drunk driving stop. The best answer you can give them is that you would like to speak to your attorney. Our lawyers are familiar with the many issues that arise in pretextual stops, including:

  • Pulling someone over because of their age
  • Stopping an individual because of their race
  • Detaining individuals for a different crime than they were pulled over for
  • Police failing to give proper reasons for searching people and cars
