Legal Question in DUI Law in Ohio

Avoiding DUI Roadblock

Is it legal in Ohio to avoid a DUI roadblock? I am semi-familiar with the ''Sitz'' case, but that was years ago? How are these cases handles NOWADAYS? I was driving home, saw a road block ahead and proceeded to take a LEGAL right hand turn into a hotel parking lot. An officer ran over, questioned me, did the field sobriety tests and I was convicted. I was also driving under suspension (12 points) and my license plates were expired. (Also had a prior DUI last year!) BUT, did he have the right to stop me to begin with? (4th Amendment) Please HELP!!!!

Did you say you were convicted? If so, how could anyone help you at this point? Do you mean charged instead? This is going to take a conversation to resolve, so please feel free to call....216.952.1990
