What reasoning do policemen or highway patrolman need to stop me for driving under the influence?
Police or patrolmen must have “reasonable suspicion,” based on unusual or erratic driving behavior. Because there are very low standards for “unusual” driving behaviors, you may be pulled over for something simple, everyday inconsistencies. In addition, if you encounter a field sobriety checkpoint, you may be stopped or investigated before the officer observes anything suspicious about your driving behavior.
