Protection Against Unreasonable Search and Seizure
The Fourth Amendment of the Constitution protects citizens from unlawful search and seizure. In regards to traffic stops, an officer must have reasonable suspicion that you have broken the law before stopping you. Without probable cause, an officer has no right to search your vehicle. If an officer does search your vehicle, any evidence he or she obtains, including your blood alcohol content (BAC) levels, could be inadmissible in court.
