New Minnesota law cracks down on DWIs
ST. PAUL, Minn. (FOX 47) A new Minnesota law may allow DWI offenders to avoid the scarlet letter of a whiskey plate.
“It’s really a trade off, of we’re gonna get rid of public shaming that has no deterring effect and instead we are going to do something that has a more practical effect of making our roads safe,” DWI and criminal defense attorney at Godwin Dold, Jay Adkins said.
It used to be believed that people who have whiskey plates could be pulled over at any time by a police officer, but that is no longer true. In 2003, it was ruled unconstitutional by the Minnesota Supreme Court.
