The police might pull you over because they suspect you of a DUI or another traffic violation. You might have missed a stop sign or been speeding, but you can expect the officer to check whether you are impaired during the stop.
If the police decide there is probable cause to believe you are under the influence of alcohol, they can request that you undergo some tests, such as field sobriety tests, which you can lawfully refuse if you choose. Often, field sobriety tests can result in false positives due to nerves, fatigue, the environment, or other circumstances. However, the prosecutor could use your refusal as evidence against you in your DUI case if you face charges.
Officers might also request that you give them a breath sample to test your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) with a breathalyzer device. Unlike field sobriety tests, it is against the law to refuse these tests. Due to Minnesota’s implied consent laws under Minnesota Statutes § 169A.51, anyone with a license automatically agrees to undergo breath tests. If you refuse, you can face additional consequences. Our defense lawyers at BK Law Group handle refusal cases.
In Bloomington, the police can arrest you for a DUI if your BAC is over the legal limit or if the officer determines they have probable cause. Before they ask any material questions, they must read you your Miranda rights, which include the right to remain silent and the right to have a defense attorney. It is always wise to invoke these rights.
You should politely inform the officers that you plan to remain silent and call a defense lawyer. Then, you can immediately call BK Law Group for help.
In most Bloomington cases, if this is your first DUI arrest, the police will usually release you without bail, also known as release on your own recognizance. You do not have to pay bail, but you promise to attend your scheduled court appearance or face serious consequences if you do not.
Once an officer issues your charges, you receive a summons to attend court. This might be when you leave the police station, but it could also be at a later date if the prosecutor does not file charges immediately. You should never attend a criminal court date alone. You want an experienced attorney representing you at every court date, and you should never plead guilty without advice from your counsel.
Under Minnesota Statutes § 169A.53, your DUI lawyer can also request a judicial review of your license revocation within 60 days. Time is limited after your arrest, so never delay in seeking help.
