Police are allowed to stop motorists for a number of reasons including improperly working equipment, erratic driving, or if an officer has a reasonable cause to believe that a law has been broken. Many times, police officers make correct choices about who to pull over, but there are many times in which the stop was not conducted properly.
Law enforcement officials have many types of tests to determine if someone is under the influence. People may fail these tests for various reasons, including medical conditions, stress, or intimidation. Even the breathalyzer tests can be misleading if the device is faulty or if a person has been taking over the counter medicine.
You should note that in Texas, a person can be cited for impaired driving due to alcohol or other drugs regardless of BAC.
Being convicted of a DWI can lead to many serious problems down the road. You may be facing jail time, a criminal record, suspension or loss of your driver's license, loss of current job, difficulty in finding future employment, and fines and court fees.
