Massachusetts DUI charges dropped due to no probable cause
The American justice system dictates that government officials must have probable cause in order to stop motorists who are traveling on the roads. A Massachusetts police officer who lacks sufficient probable cause to conduct a search and seizure after improperly stopping a motorist for suspected DUI may have a judge rule the actions unconstitutional. This can lead to a case being thrown out of court entirely due to a violation of the probable cause requirement.
