Can You Refuse A Drug Test During A Minnesota Traffic Stop?
Under Minnesota’s implied consent laws, refusing chemical testing, such as blood or urine tests, results in immediate penalties, including driver’s license revocation. However, in some cases, the police must obtain a warrant for chemical testing. If you have refused testing or have submitted to testing in a drug-related driving case, consult an experienced DUI defense lawyer as soon as possible.
Can Prescription Medications Lead To A DUI Charge?
Yes, Minnesota law prohibits operating a vehicle under the influence of any controlled substance, including legal prescription drugs. This means that even if a drug is legally prescribed, it can still impair your ability to operate a vehicle and drive safely. Therefore, driving under the influence of a legal prescription drug can lead to a DUI charge. As a result, it is very important to understand the potential side effects of your medications and how they may affect your driving.
