Those Charged With DWI Must Face The Alcohol Assessment Minneapolis MN Inconvenience

By Joshua Hamilton


Those Minnesotans who have had the honor of visiting their county jail cell for DWI already know how the laws in the state work. Should a driver be found to have a blood alcohol level above 0.08, then he or she is going to be the next guest at County. Many will stay there till court where the judge informs them about their immediate future of probation, and then the probation officer assigns them to complete the alcohol assessment Minneapolis MN.

Because Minnesota is a DWI state, the drivers must be shown to have exceeded the 0.08 BAC limit. Under this limit, the officer has failed to adequately establish that the driver is intoxicated, or too drunk to drive. Most states, especially in the South, are DUI states which follow the codes of officer misconduct as set forth for any state that imprisons citizens for merely Driving Under The Influence.

When one resides in a state with DUI laws rather than DWI laws, they are at risk of being arrested the very moment they make the mistake of telling the officer they have had anything to drink. It is up to the discretion of the officer involved to decide whether or not an arrest is to be made. It is an extremely fair bet to assume that arrests in such circumstances are nearly ALWAYS made.

A single drink with a heavy meal may be all it takes to get taken to jail in a state that prays to the church of DUI. In fact, one must wonder why there are drinking establishments at all in such a state. The truth of the matter is that these arrests represent an astronomical percentage of the overall government revenue, not to mention support for many therapeutic institutions that accommodate the police departments.

Fines for DWI arrests can vary somewhat, although anyone intending to plead guilty for the crime can anticipate their costs to be around $2,000.00 for their first offense. They may wish to slate out a weekend to spend at least 24 to 48 hours in County Jail. Then, with another $100 to $200 in hand, they must face the scrutiny of the Assessor who will determine if they require further treatment for their dependency.

This assessor will generally start out having a small, seemingly intimate chat with the accused. They are attempting to get inside their life, so to speak, in order to figure how best to convince the person that he or she is an alcoholic. They are attempting to determine how often they drink, how much they drink on average, and what their general perspective is on their apparent alcoholism.

If they are not able to get you stuck in a minimum duration of AA meetings, then they are attempting to send the accused to a rehabilitation center. The rehabilitation centers are particularly popular when the accused is unemployed, probably due to their DWI arrest. These centers will get the accused working for minimum wage, keep them for 18 months to three years, and take almost all the money they make for room and board.

Anyone who is going to be filling out one of these forms is warned, you should probably lie. Try to give the assessor the impression that you are naive, and that your consumption that night was an isolated event. Now, should the accused actually be an alcoholic, the rehabilitation or AA programs might actually change their life for the better.
