Roadblocks
If you are stopped at an OUI-DUI roadblock in Massachusetts, call Attorney DelSignore immediately. While roadblocks are constitutionally permissible in Massachusetts, they must adhere to the strict criteria established by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court.
It is the Commonwealth burden to prove that the roadblock complied with the Constitutional standards set forth by the Supreme Judicial Court, and a motion to suppress challenging the legal basis of the roadblock if successful would result in the dismissal of the charges.
Even if the police complied with proper procedure in conducting the roadblock, roadblock cases are often defensible as typically the police have no observations of erratic driving and are relying solely on the results of the field sobriety tests. Accordingly, if you were stopped at an OUI/DUI roadblock call attorney DelSignore immediately and let him begin preparing your defense.
