Expect Inconveniences After Taking The Alcohol Assessment Minneapolis MN

By Joshua Hamilton


Driving intoxicated is the most easily prosecuted crime in the state of Minnesota. Traffic stops revealing in a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or more go from being motorists to guests in the county jail system. Once the Judge has had his or her way, setting probation and fines as well as license suspensions, these poor souls must then report for alcohol assessment Minneapolis MN.

It is fortunate that the good people of Minnesota live in a DWI state. This means anyone being tested must actually breath OVER the 0.08 limit before they can be proclaimed to be under the influence of booze, and arrested. In many other states, including all the traditionally conservative venues known as red states, they have Driving Under the Influence, or DUI laws.

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.

In a DUI state, it is not impossible to be arrested after only a single drink, with a meal. Drivers are discouraged from consuming any alcoholic cold or flue medications before heading to work. Hell, one can just about get arrested for driving under the influence because they are sucking on a Halls cough lozenge while cruising home from their bar-tending job (where they do not drink on the job).

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.

Ultimately, the assessor is going to attempt to show to the accused that they DO have a problem and require treatment in some form. This meeting begins with filling out a series of questionnaires. These forms are their way of attempting to establish their frequency of use, how much they generally drink, and their general perspective on the sauce.

Once the accused is in the system, they may be given an option between 12 to 18 months in rehab, or going to AA meetings for a minimum of two years. Rehabilitation centers are establishments committed to getting drunks sober and working so that they can pay their hard-earned wage to the Center as rent. A person can anticipate being at such a place for six to twenty-four months.

When filling out such a form, certain experts would strongly encourage the accused to lie through their teeth. Unless they are desiring such treatment for what they recognize as a life issue they cannot control, then lie. Also, be completely consistent in how you answer because they will repeat questions to see if they can trip you up.
