Absolutely, if police engaged in unlawful conduct during a stop, or you believe they stopped you without probable cause, that is solid ground on which to challenge the DUI/DWI charges against you in New Jersey.

When an illegal stop is made that results in an arrest, a judge can decide that everything that happened from the moment of the illegal stop will be disallowed from the proceedings, with the effect of throwing out the case against you.

It’s important to move quickly when you believe police lacked probable cause.

Dashboard cameras or surveillance video of the stop may be acquired through discovery or subpoena, but the longer you wait, the more likely that significant evidence may be lost or taped over.

It’s definitely possible to raise a medical defense against a failed field sobriety test in New Jersey that led to an arrest for DUI.

It’s even possible to use medical conditions or disability to discredit the field sobriety evidence so that the chain of events that followed can’t be used by the prosecution.

People with conditions that affect balance, fine or gross motor skills, or pain conditions like chronic back pain or sciatica may have grounds to challenge the observations that the police made before taking you into custody.

These aren’t necessarily easy defenses to prove, but when you’ve been wrongly arrested for DUI based on a medical condition, it’s important to push back against police overreach.
