DUI / DWI

It is illegal to drive, operate or be in physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or a controlled substance or with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more. Minnesota’s legal limit for blood alcohol concentration limit is .08%. A driver with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more will be charged with a MN DWI. Similarly, Minnesota DWI laws state that any driver with the presence of any scheduled controlled substance in their blood will be charged with a Minnesota drunk driving offense. Further, an officer may arrest a driver for suspicion of a driving while impaired even if your blood alcohol content is under .08, provided the officer feels the drunk driver was operating the vehicle in a manner indicating that the driver is impaired or under the influence.
