How A DUI Case in Georgia Can Be Dismissed

After a DUI arrest in Georgia, this can be a distressing and frightening time wondering what the final outcome will be and how it will affect your life. The good news is that there is the potential that your case could be dismissed. And, there are several reasons why this can happen including:

  • There was not enough evidence to show that you were actually drunk driving and had an unlawful amount or any amount of alcohol in your system at the time of your arrest.
  • The evidence that is against you is weak and can easily be explained away for your benefit.
  • The evidence against you was illegally collected and therefore inadmissible in your case.
  • The traffic stop that led to your arrest was conducted illegally or improperly by law enforcement.
  • You have constitutional rights that must be protected even when you are arrested. If these are violated, you may be able to use this as grounds to argue your case is unlawful and should be dismissed.
