- Eskens & Gibson:
Contrary to what some people may think, there is no constitutional
right to refuse a breath or chemical test to determine the level of
alcohol in your body. You are deemed to consent just by the act of
driving in Minnesota. If youve been stopped and arrested for drunk
driving, you will be faced with the decision of whether to take such a
test. On the one hand, refusing to take the test has its consequences:
your license can be revoked for a year merely for the refusal (even if
youre perfectly sober); and your refusal may be admissible as evidence
of your guilt at a trial of the drunk driving charge. Accordingly, in
Minnesota, where there was no accident, it is most advisable to take
the test. On the other hand, if you were involved in a serious
accident, it may be advisable not to take the test and endure the
revocation rather than provide evidence of a possible criminal
vehicular operation. In Minnesota, even a first time DWI could get a
30-day jail sentence if the test exceeds .20. If you are a first time
DWI and over .20, it may be advisable to refuse the test. Your
revocation would last a year versus 180 days for the .20, but there is
no 30 days in jail.
