A Chester County man was stopped for allegedly weaving between lanes and failing to use his turn signal. After pulling him over and performing a sobriety test, the officer charged him with a DUI.

Criminal defense attorney Michael Skinner accessed the police dashcam footage, which told an entirely different story. In the dashcam video, the client did not seem to drive recklessly as the officer testified. Skinner used this evidence to file a motion to suppress. The judge reviewed the motion and agreed there was no probable cause to make the stop in the first place, so the DUI charge was thrown out.
