DUI Arrests

We’ve all seen the public service announcements and heard the warnings about drunk driving. And maybe some of us know someone who’s gotten a DUI conviction. For every tale of being pulled over by the police, there are seemingly just as many pieces of amateur advice about what you should do if you find yourself looking at red and blue flashing lights in the rearview mirror. Every drunk driving case begins with an arrest by a police officer, which follows a traffic stop and one or more sobriety tests. FindLaw’s DUI Arrests section can give you the facts about how a traffic stop turns into an arrest and the tests in between.
