Understanding Reasonable Suspicion

If an officer pulls you over, you may question whether he or she had a good reason to do so. In fact, you may feel that the officer pulled you over for some arbitrary reason. In order for a police officer to pull you over, he or she has to have strong suspicions that you have committed or will commit a criminal act. An officer could pull you over because you:

• Signaled in the wrong direction
• Drove between lanes
• Swerved across the road
• Drove significantly slower than the speed limit

If you believe than an officer did not have a sufficient reason to pull you over, you should discuss your legal options with an experienced attorney.
