Mr. Keller’s client was charged with Driving after Cancellation as Inimical to Public Safety (DAC-IPS) which happens when a driver’s license is cancelled for too many DWI’s, as well as fourth degree DWI and driving in violation of a restricted license (B-card violation).  Even though his client had 3 prior DWI’s, Mr. Keller got his client’s implied consent driver’s license revocation thrown out in March, 2011 when he showed that his client had a prescription for the drugs that showed up in a blood test after the client was arrested for DWI.  The same test showed that the driver had NO ALCOHOL in his system whatsoever.  Then, at a contested omnibus hearing in the Dakota County DWI  criminal case on July 20, 2011, Mr. Keller got the criminal fourth degree DWI charge dismissed for the same reasons, even though his client had 3 prior DWI’s so that this was his fourth repeat DWI.  His client, who plead guilty to DAC, received no jail time and was very happy.

What to Do If You Have Been Charged with a Criminal Offense

People facing drug crime charges who were victims of unlawful search or seizure may wonder, “What role does search and seizure law play in drug cases?” Under the Fourth Amendment, search and seizure law protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures by law enforcement officers. The Minnesota constitution provides similar protections.
One question that may linger on your mind upon discovering you are under drug crime investigation is: “What should I do if I’m arrested on drug charges?” The first thing you should do if you’re arrested on drug charges in Minneapolis is stay calm and cooperative. Then, document the arrest while the event is still fresh in your mind. Next, hire a lawyer who has built a successful practice around helping criminal defendants facing drug related charges.
If you are facing a sex crime charge or suspect the police are investigating you, you might wonder: “Can I be charged with a sex crime if the other party consents?” While you might have consensual sex with someone, sex crime charges can still be filed against you in Minnesota. Legal concerns, such as the complainant’s age, mental capacity, and legal authority, are usually considered during court proceedings for sex crime cases. All those issues can impact your case.
