swerving or driving erratically are not in direct violation of any laws but are behavior the define the profile of a dui driver. if i'm swerving, get pulled over, inform the officer that my steering box is broken, i am nursing the car home, he tests to see if i have been drinking, i have have not, i go on my way. certainly inconvenienced but i *fit the profile*
maybe i am wrong but as i understand leo, they are trained to look for certain things, i.e. a profile.
