There are numerous potential defenses in a DUI case. The officer must have had a reason to stop you, to ask you to perform field sobriety tests and to arrest you and request that you take a chemical test. If the officer’s actions do not meet a certain legal standard, evidence may be suppressed, which means that the government may not use it against you at trial. Other areas that can be attacked are the methods used to test you and the results obtained.
