You're asking 2 questions: Can you "get a dui off your record" - I assume you're asking if this can be beat. You'd need to sit down with an attorney for a face-to-face consultation, but there may be a way to suppress the evidence in this case. In order for a chemical test to be lawfully obtained, there first must be a lawful arrest. Ordinarily, an officer will see bad driving and make a traffic stop, making them a witness to a necessary element of a DUI - driving. I'm unclear from your question if your daughter was pulled over or if they had stopped. You also asked "why did they stop her?" Again - I'm not sure if they did stop her or she was already stopped. If she was already stopped, they likely stopped to check on your daughter (or her passenger's welfare) on the side of the road. There may be defenses to this case, so even at a 0.16% blood alcohol level, it's worth talking to a criminal defense attorney.

I don't know for sure why they stopped her, they will say they stopped to check on the welfare of the sick friend. Whether this will fly in LA. County is a question best answered by a local attorney who primarily handles DUI case. Good Luck

An officer needs "reasonable cause" to stop someone. You need to contact and an attorney in your area - go to www.california-dui-lawyers.org.
