Police officers are allowed to pull a vehicle over based on a “reasonable articulable suspicion” that you are committing a crime or driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The police can even stop your vehicle and ask you questions without first having advised you of your constitutional rights, your right to remain silent, or the right to an attorney.
