OWI Traffic Stop

Q. The officer said that he stopped me for [speeding, weaving within the lanes, failure to stop for a traffic signal], can he do that?

A: Whether or not an officer can stop your vehicle depends on the individual circumstances surrounding the stop. Legally, an officer needs what is termed "reasonable suspicion" that a traffic violation has occured to stop a vehicle. Whether or not the officer has this depends on the precise circumstances of your stop.
