Proof of Lawful DUI Arrest Is Required at California DMV Hearing (CVC 23152)
Before the California DMV can revoke your driver’s license, due to a California DUI arrest, there must be proof that you were “lawfully arrested.” A lawful arrest only takes place if the arresting officer can provide sufficient facts and evidence to establish probable cause. Allegations of a traffic violation is not, in of itself, probable cause to arrest. Although the allegation of a traffic violation may give an officer reasonable cause to stop your vehicle, additional evidence is generally required to make a lawful DUI arrest.
It is important to know that you only have 10 days from the date of your arrest to schedule a California DMV Hearing to contest the suspension of your driver’s license. By scheduling a DMV Hearing, you preserve your right to challenge the legality of any action taken on your license. At the DMV Hearing, your DUI attorney will have an opportunity to attack the surrounding facts and evidence of your case in an effort to save your drivers license from a lengthy suspension.
