Are DUI Checkpoints Legal in North Carolina? In reviewing a DUI case, experienced legal counsel normally consider a series of complicated legal factors, measured against an unique factual scenario relevant to the particular charge or charges. At Powers Law Firm we specifically break down an Impaired Driving file into four general categories for the purposes of analysis: The Basis for the Stop or “Encounter” The Basis for Arrest The Collection of Evidence & Evidence Seized The Release Process & Timing of Securing Release It makes sense to review a case based upon the chronological order of events normally associated with a stop, arrest, collection of evidence and release. If the Basis for the Stop or “Encounter” is found to be invalid, illegal and/or otherwise unconstitutional, evidence gathered, as a result, has the potential to be suppressed. That suppression is often referred to as “Fruit of the Poisonous Tree” or the Exclusionary Rule. The earlier in the chain of events one can effectively attack the legality of a stop or seizure, the greater the likelihood of suppression of evidence collected and if appropriate, the resulting dismissal of a charge or charges due to lack of evidence. It is important to note, suppression of a piece of evidence does not necessarily mean a matter will be dismissed.....
