If you’re facing a DWI in Minnesota, one thing a good Minnesota DWI lawyer can help with is challenging the DWI test to determine if everything was handled properly. Â Here are some things I can look at for your DWI case:
Implied Consent — In order for Minnesota to require you to take a DWI test, it must have probable cause that you were operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Â Then, the police officer must explain some basic rights so that you know what your options are. Â Typically, this is handled by the book, but there are instances where police officers fail to follow the guidelines. Â These failures could give you a chance to have the charges dismissed.
Breath Test — Currently, a group of Minnesota DWI Attorneys are challenging that the breath testing machines fail to give accurate results. Â Even if this group challenge fails, there is still a chance that the police officer didn’t operate the machine correctly in your specific instance. Â I can review the reports and find out if everything was handled reliably.
Blood Test — Under Minnesota law, the blood test should be administered by a medical professional using a special kit to ensure accurate testing. Â Again, I will look for any discrepancies and see if they used the most careful methods to conduct the test.
Urine Test — Like the blood test, a urine DWI test requires the use of a special kit to ensure the sample remains reliable and does not continue to ferment. Â Using my DWI experience, I can review the reports and see if everything was handled correctly.
