Broken tail light but arrested for DUI?
Recently on our DUI forum a driver asked, I was partying the other night, but I only had a few beers. I left the bar and was driving down the highway. I was not speeding or anything. Next thing I know, I am stopped and being arrested for DUI. I found out later that I was stopped for a broken tail light. What gives? Is this legal?
