What constitutes probable cause for OWI arrest?
Probable cause is defined as: "a reasonable belief that a person has committed a crime." or "a reasonable amount of suspicion, supported by circumstances sufficiently strong to justify a prudent and cautious person's belief that certain facts are probably true". So... There is no cookie-cutter definition as it relates to OWI. Driving behavior, observations of the driver (statements, actions, odors, etc), and field sobriety testing can all contribute to probable cause. In essence, weaving in and out of traffic, crossing the lines of the road, dramatic and excessive corrections observed by law enforcement officers can lead to a traffic stop. Upon stopping the driver, officers may detect the odor of alcohol which in itself is probable cause to conduct investigation such as field sobriety testing or breathalyzer testing. Which may further support probable cause.
What if a cop makes up a probable cause to pull you over how can you prove that he had no probable cause?
Difficult and expensive to prove lack of probable cause. Probable cause can be anything from suspicious activity in the vehicle to weaving while driving or failure to signal.

No. Officers can only search your vehicle if 1) you consent or 2) if they have probable cause.

Whether probable cause for a search exists depends on the circumstances.
