Does probable cause exist to arrest defendant for DUI?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Thompson, 135 P.3d 3, 38 Cal.4th 811, 43 Cal.Rptr.3d 750 (Cal. 2006):
The trial court found that probable cause existed to arrest defendant and that the warrantless entry was justified by exigent circumstances. Because the underlying facts are undisputed, we review the trial court's rulings independently. (People v. Williams (1988) 45 Cal.3d 1268, 1301, 248 Cal.Rptr. 834, 756 P.2d 221.)
