DUI Checkpoint Arrest in Las Vegas NV?
More info at www.shouselaw.com 702-333-3673 Las Vegas DUI lawyers explain the law re Nevada sobriety checkpoints. A cop isn’t allowed to pull over drivers without probable cause that they’re under the influence or committed another crime. But there’s one big exception to this rule . . . Nevada DUI Sobriety Checkpoints Las Vegas Metro police and the Nevada Highway Patrol (NHP) routinely set up drunk driving checkpoints over holiday weekends and during special events in high-traffic areas. At these sobriety checkpoints, police are allowed to stop and arrest you for driving under the influence even if you were driving safely and wouldn’t have been pulled over otherwise. But if you’re charged with driving under the influence as a result of a Nevada DUI checkpoint stop, our Las Vegas criminal defense attorneys may be able to get your whole case thrown out if we can show that the sobriety checkpoint didn’t adhere to the correct procedures.
