Supremes rule in favor of DUI suspect

A ruling by the Vermont Supreme Court may set a suspected drunk driver free. The high court has ruled that Christopher Harris' failure to signal when leaving a circle in Brattleboro might not have been a good enough reason for a trooper to pull him over. Harris wants evidence that he was over the limit excluded because the officer lacked justification for the stop. The issue in question is when a driver in a traffic circle is supposed to signal a turn, since the vehicle is always changing direction. The court agreed with that state law on the matter isn’t clear enough.
