Minnesota DWI laws can be confusing. There is a lot to know, and failure to know can lead to long-lasting consequences such as jail time, the loss of your driver's license, harsh bail terms and increased auto insurance premiums. And those are just the direct consequences. Try explaining a DWI to your spouse or employer.

So Are You Required To Take A Urine Or Blood Test?

It depends.

We know that is not the answer you were looking for, but it is the truth.

Due to Minnesota's implied consent law, you are required to take a breath test or field sobriety tests, but you are not required to take a blood or urine test unless there is probable cause for administering these more invasive tests.
