Shoreview DWI Defense: What Police Need to Stop You

Driving through Shoreview, especially late at night along Highway 96, Lexington Avenue, or Rice Creek Road, may put you in sight of law enforcement. But police cannot legally stop your car without articulable suspicion. If you are facing DWI charges, call for a free confidential consultation at 651-447-7650 or 612-227-1339.

“DWIs really can put you in jail and it can get worse from there.”

Examples of Articulable Suspicion in Shoreview

Police often claim suspicion based on:

  • Swerving into another lane

  • Driving far below the posted speed limit

  • Abrupt or unsafe braking

  • Running stop signs near Shoreview Community Center

  • Failing to signal before turning

If the officer’s explanation doesn’t hold up, the stop—and the case—may not stand in court.

Penalties for a Shoreview DWI

Minnesota law is harsh on drunk driving. You could face:

  • Jail time and fines up to $1,000 for a first offense

  • License suspension or revocation

  • Mandatory ignition interlock

  • Employment consequences due to a criminal record

The stakes are even higher for repeat offenses.
