Driving through Shoreview, especially late at night along Highway 96, Lexington Avenue, or Rice Creek Road, may put you in sight of law enforcement.

“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.
