Minnesota High Court Tightens Implied Consent DWI Law
The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that an arrest remains valid with probable cause even if the driver is later found not guilty. It upheld license revocation after a failed chemical test, regardless of trial outcomes, and held drivers may not claim incapacity to refuse the test due to intoxication. The decision reinforces the implied consent statute for DWI testing.
