I live in New Jersey and was with my friends in New York City for a fun night. Was a tough one. Drove back to New Jersey and was stopped by a police officer for suspected DUI. The police officer said that I smelled of alcohol. That may be true because someone spilled beer all over me. But I wasn't drunk. And it's pretty clear that I was lucid and aware and in full control of myself. I have a few questions.
1. Under what circumstances can a police officer stop you for a suspected DUI and require you to take a sobriety test?
2. Can they arrest you for suspected DUI just from the smell of alcohol?
