Drunk Driving Attorney in Dallas - Questions

If a person doesn't think they did anything wrong to get pulled over, can the police pull someone over for no reason?

No. Law enforcement is required to have reasonable suspicion before pulling someone over. If an officer pulls you over for no apparent reason you can request a hearing called a motion to suppress to challenge the constitutionality of the officer's stop. For more on this subject see the article: What the law requires to arrest for DWI.
