Arrested For Traffic Crimes In Minneapolis / St Paul?

The state of Minnesota is cracking down on the road rules and regulations in an attempt to put an end to car accidents caused by speeding, reckless driving, drinking while driving and other criminal offenses. Traffic violations are punishable by the state of Minnesota and often come with serious criminal repercussions. A traffic violation is any traffic offense committed while driving a vehicle, a boat, an ATV or any other recreational vehicle.

Traffic Violation Charges

There are a number of offenses that warrant a traffic violation conviction including the following:

  • Speed limit violations /  speeding / speeding in a construction zone or school zone
  • Reckless driving / erratic lane changes / road rage
  • Use of unsafe tires / defective vehicle
  • Driving while intoxicated (DWI) / driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI)
  • No proof of insurance / driving without a license/ driving with a suspended license/ driving while your license has been revoked
  • Underage drinking and driving

Traffic violations can result in higher insurance premiums and ticket fines. Furthermore, with every traffic violation you receive, you will lose points off your driving record. Enough points and you could be facing license revocation. However, in many instances, a ticket may be issued on unjust grounds. If this is the case, you could risk losing your license for a crime that you did not commit.

Misdemeanor Traffic Violations

In some instances, a traffic violation, such as a DWI arrest or underage drinking and driving may result in a misdemeanor or even a gross misdemeanor offense for convicted repeat offenders or for those who refuse to take a breathalyzer test.

Speeding Tickets Violations

Often when you are driving and are pulled over, a police officer will ask you “Do you know why I pulled you over?” This is an attempt to get a confession out of you to use in court if you do decide to protest the offense. You do not need to answer the police officer or admit to anything. Instead, be polite and remain silent.

Hit and Run Violations

When it comes to hit and run violations, police officers will often be at a loss for evidence of the scene. If you are accused of a hit and run, you are innocent until enough evidence has been collected to prove you are guilty.  Hit and run violations often come with severe penalties, if convicted, especially if the driver was injured or killed.
