Police Officers Stop Defendant without Reasonable Suspicion - Case Dismissed Police Officers Stop Defendant without Reasonable Suspicion - Case Dismissed

Houston, Texas - Police officers respond to a 911 call of a driver that is either drunk or on the telephone. The case is ultimately dismissed because there are no articulable reasons for the stop.

According to the offense report, police officers pulled client over for DWI because there was a 911 call that said our client's vehicle was being driven by an intoxcated driver.  Through our investigation, however, that was a misrepresentation of the call to 911.  The 911 caller actually relayed to the police that he observed a driver of a vehicle that was - get this - weaving in his lane and the caller thought the driver may be intoxicated or on his cell phone.  Isn't that what we all do when we drive, weave within our lane.  Driving is by its nature a contolled weave.

Houston Police officers found our client and pulled him over.  The problem - there was no reasonable suspicion for the stop.  The prosecutors agreed and the DWI case was dismissed.
