Factors That Can Be Challenged in a DWI Case

Many people may not realize that there are actually many things that can be challenged if you have been pulled over for a DWI.

Factors That Can Be Challenged in a DWI Case

The reliability of the field sobriety test    

Field sobriety tests are not right one hundred percent of the time. No one is perfect and people make mistakes, including those either administering the field sobriety tests or the machines, such as the breathalyzers, that were used as part of the process too. If anything that was part of the field sobriety test was inaccurate, this can be a major factor that could be challenged in your DWI case.

The validity of the actual traffic stop    

An officer isn’t supposed to pull you over unless they have valid cause to do so. If that valid cause wasn’t present, then this could be another major factor to be challenged in your case.

If it was raining that night or not    

If the road was wet the night you were pulled over for a DWI, the water on the road could be the cause of you swerving, not intoxication. This could be a major point to be brought up in your case that may swing things in your favor.

The lack of Miranda Rights being read by the officer     

If the Miranda Rights weren’t read before you were arrested, the whole case could possibly come to an end. It’s important to remember as much as possible about the night you were pulled over as that information may be useful when trying to challenged certain factors.
