If you are pulled over on suspicion of driving under the influence under 21 in MN, it is important for you to be aware of your rights. After all, if you are not aware of your rights, you might accidently do or say something that could make it more difficult for your attorney to win your case.

As a driver in Minnesota, your rights begin from the time you are pulled over by the police officer. Some of the Minnesota DWI offenders rights you need to be aware of include:

• You don’t have to answer any questions asked by an officer. Simply hand over your driver’s license and insurance card and politely ask to speak with an attorney before answering any questions.

• You are not required to take a field sobriety test. Taking one of these tests will only help the officer build his or her case, so you should politely refuse to take a test if asked by the officer.

• A police officer is not actually required to read the Miranda rights to you unless you have already been placed under arrest and he or she plans to ask you questions related to the arrest. Once the officer reads these rights to you, you should not answer any questions without an attorney present.

• Most people who are charged with a DWI can obtain a limited license allowing them to drive to work, though this license cannot be obtained until 22 days after being charged with a DWI.

• If you lose your license in Minnesota, you most likely will not be able to obtain a license in another state; even if you have an international driver’s license, you cannot drive in Minnesota if your Minnesota license has been revoked.

By having a better understanding of your Minnesota DWI offenders rights, you will be better prepared to handle your arrest properly. Your actions at the time of your arrest and after your arrest can have a significant impact on the outcome of your case.

Similarly, the legal actions you take after being arrested for a DWI will have a major impact on your freedom, particularly your driving freedom. Therefore, in addition to knowing your rights, it is also important to hire a skilled and experienced attorney who specializes in DWI cases. This is particularly true if you have been arrested for driving under the influence under 21 in MN, as you will be facing additional charges for underage drinking.

Remember – for the best possible outcome, understand your rights and hire an experienced DWI attorney early on.
