DUI Test Refusal

You Can Legally Refuse A Blood Test

The U.S. Supreme Court has decreed it: Minnesotans suspected of driving under the influence will not face penalties if they refuse warrantless blood testing. This stands as a major development in the field of criminal law.

What About Minnesota’s Implied Consent Laws?

Nevertheless, drivers suspected of DUI may still endure severe penalties if they refuse breath tests, even if they are compelled to do so without a warrant being served. This is because, at the same time that the Supreme Court protected individuals from invasive blood testing, the court upheld Minnesota’s implied consent law, which enables authorities to criminalize the refusal of a breath test.

In most cases, drivers who refuse a breath test will have their license suspended for a year or more. But there are means to challenge any penalties, and a knowledgeable attorney can help you maximize your chances of success.
