Although marijuana is now legal in Minnesota for adults 21 and older to possess and consume, driving under the influence of the drug is still illegal. However, many times, mistakes are made, and people are erroneously charged with a marijuana DWI. Having a DWI on your record can make it hard to get a job, jeopardize your license, and have other far-reaching effects. Our Brooklyn Park, MN Marijuana DWI lawyer is here to protect your rights after an arrest and achieve the best outcome for your charges. Call Archambault Criminal Defense today to learn more.
Marijuana DWI Lawyer Brooklyn Park, MN
Driving under the influence of marijuana is just as much of a crime as driving under the influence of alcohol. However, because there is no “legal limit” of marijuana that someone must exceed before being considered intoxicated, determining whether an individual is under the influence is entirely up to the officer who pulled them over and arrested them.
The subjective nature of this crime means that often, innocent people, or people who are not impaired, are swept up by very enthusiastic police officers. If you have been arrested for marijuana DWI, you may have your license suspended, be required to participate in a sobriety program or drug court, spend time in jail, and pay hefty fines. Our Brooklyn Park marijuana DWI lawyer fights to stop this.
We’ve seen many cases where someone who is not under the influence of marijuana is arrested anyway. Perhaps they have a small amount in their possession, or may smell of the drug from earlier that day. We investigate the charges against you, including the circumstances of your arrest, reviewing your activities before the stop. If your civil rights were violated, we’ll find out and swiftly take action.
We seek the best possible outcome for the charge, whether it’s getting the charges dropped, reduced, or negotiating a deal to keep you out of jail. We protect you during police questioning and represent you each time you must appear in court or are questioned by law enforcement, protecting your rights and fighting for your freedom.
