Re: Motor vehicle stop for just cause

In California, the standard to stop a vehicle is called "Reasonable Articulate Suspicion". This means any reason that the officer can articulate such as swerving, improper lane change, etc. would be justifiable. Each case is unique and we would need further details to adequately answer your question. Please call (800) 382-3100 for further information.
