The Fourth Amendment provides that people are to be secure in their homes and persons. Generally, law enforcement officials must have a warrant before they can search an individual's car, home, or person or take them into custody. However, an exception to this is if the officer had probable cause to take action. Probable cause is more than a hunch. It means that the officer had a reasonable belief that a crime had been committed. This means that during a DUI stop, the cop must have seen the driver do something that was evidence of their intoxication.
Typical driving behaviors observed during a DUI stop include:
Speeding
Driving too slow
Driving without headlights
Failing to stop at a traffic signal
