No, unless a police officer has a video surveillance in their vehicle; although the court will most likely take the officer’s word.
Probable cause for a stop can include: having a tail light out, crossing over the center line, or speeding. You may say that a police officer actually charged you with speeding and the court can find you not guilty, but still find that the police officer had a reasonable belief that you were speeding and could pull you over.
Many people argue: “I was not doing what they said I was doing for the police officer to pull me over.” In the majority of DUI cases, however, it is on the stop. Either the probable cause for the stop was inadequate or what the police officer said you were doing was not in violation of the law.
Sometimes, what the officer says is refuted by his own vehicle surveillance camera. Many law enforcement agencies are getting away from vehicle cameras, however, and moving towards body-mounted cameras. Unfortunately for the accused, these body cameras don’t typically record the stop itself, but rather, just the contact between the driver and officer.
If you believe you’ve been pulled over unlawfully, the best way to aid your case is through evidence and being aware of your surroundings. We’ve had drivers take pictures of their fully illuminated license tags, after they’ve been pulled over for a tag light being out. This helped our Cambridge DUI lawyer win their case.
