It is compulsory for an officer to have a valid, probable cause for ordering a driver to legally pull over for suspected drunk driving. Probable cause in this case can be defined as a reason sufficient enough to believe that illegal activity is taking place, not just a hunch or suspicion.

Before asking to stop, the officer should have observed actual signs that indicate intoxication. These may include swerving, speeding, driving too slowly and disobeying a traffic law which give the officer a reason to ask you to pull over for DUI.
