A traffic stop can change quickly when police say they found drugs in the vehicle.

If you are arrested for drug possession in Chattanooga, the charge itself is only part of the story. Where the stop occurred, why the vehicle was searched, what was allegedly found, and who had access to the area can all become questions worth discussing with counsel.

Best & Brock takes a closer look at drug-possession arrests that begin with traffic stops in Chattanooga.

A football weekend DUI case can turn on far more than a single breath or blood result. 🏈 The traffic stop, roadside conditions, officer instructions, video, statements, and timing can all matter.

Tennessee DUI law applies to alcohol, drugs, medication, or a combination of substances. A blood or breath alcohol concentration of 0.08 percent or more can support a DUI charge, while the commercial vehicle threshold is 0.04 percent. An arrest is not a conviction. βš–οΈ

Roadside testing should be reviewed in context. Uneven pavement, fatigue, passing traffic, flashing lights, weather, old injuries, and confusing instructions may affect performance. Body camera and dash camera footage can help show what actually happened during the stop. πŸ“Ή

Refusal issues can also affect driving privileges. For certain misdemeanor DUI cases involving a refused blood test, a Tennessee law effective January 1, 2026 increased the revocation period to one year and six months for someone without a qualifying prior conviction.

Best and Brock represents people facing DUI charges in Chattanooga. Our team can review the stop, testing, video, paperwork, and timeline to determine what issues may matter in the case. πŸ“„

Fault is not automatic. A following driver may be responsible for speeding, following too closely, missing brake lights, or looking at a phone. A lead driver may also contribute by reversing unexpectedly or making an unsafe lane change. ⚠️

Tennessee can divide fault between people involved in a crash. An injured person who is less than 50 percent at fault may generally recover damages, reduced by their percentage of fault. At 50 percent or more, recovery from another negligent party is generally barred.

Evidence matters quickly. πŸ“Έ Photos, witness information, dash camera footage, school or security video, vehicle data, and medical records can help establish what happened. Video may be overwritten, vehicles repaired, and witnesses harder to locate. Tennessee car accident injury claims are also generally subject to a one year filing deadline.

Best and Brock helps injured people in Chattanooga investigate crashes, preserve evidence, and communicate with insurers. Our team can evaluate how the circumstances and available evidence may affect a claim. βš–οΈ
