In the past, we wrote about how drivers need to be careful during certain times of the year, when law enforcement all over the state hits the streets in full force in order to make drunk driving arrests. Specifically, one of those times was between August and September.
The issue of drunk driving tends to get the public heated up pretty quickly. Minnesota has seen its own ongoing, passionate debate about DWI laws, especially with the recent changes involving harsher penalties for some first-time offenders and repeat offenders.
No matter the case, there is generally hope when it comes to a DUI defense. Even if the suspect is a supposed repeat offender, he deserves a vigilant defense against the limitations that a drunk driving conviction can place on his life.
It’s that time of the year again. Not only are college students returning to school, but Labor Day is coming. Between now and the upcoming holiday, the past has shown that the rate of drunk driving and DWI accidents increase.
Not all drunk driving cases are treated in the same way. In Minnesota and other states, certain factors behind individual DWI cases result in more severe charges for a suspect. A Minnesota driver’s case provides an example of when someone can be charged with felony DWI rather than a lesser charge.
In Minnesota, officials take drunk driving seriously. Sure, every suspect should be provided certain protections when it comes to their rights, but overall, the system is out to charge and convict people of drunk driving when it can. No matter what the situation, a person accused of DWI should always be vigilant to get out of their case with the best possible outcome.
During the month of December, the holidays are upon us. It is not uncommon for there to be holiday parties with holiday drinks. Along with the holiday festivities, however, comes an increased presence of law enforcement on Minnesota streets. It is important to never forget that a person has invaluable rights to protect himself from the personal and professional damage of a drunk driving charge.
According to a Minnesota report, it was supposed to be a happy pre-wedding party celebration. It certainly seemed to be an uplifting, festive idea: a deck-boat ride for the groom-to-be and some of his wedding guests on a summer night on Wisconsin’s Chippewa River. Unfortunately, last Friday’s celebration was cut short due to a sudden head-on collision with a speedboat that was traveling too fast that night. The deck boat was speeding too, it was later revealed.
