Commissioner of Public Safety overruled by Court of Appeals–Giving New Hope to Driver’s with out of State DWI’s

Friday, May 14th, 2010

In a recent published decision, the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court and the Commissioner of Public Safety. They ruled that the Commissioner must do its own investigation to determine if drivers with out of State DWI’s are fit to drive in Minnesota or not.  This appellate court ruling gives new hope to Minnesota drivers who previously had a driver’s license in another state and that other state now refuses to give them a “clearance letter, ” thereby causing Minnesota to deny them a license when Minnesota classifies them as “Inimical to Public Safety”.  See http://caselaw.findlaw.com/mn-court-of-appeals/1522253.html If you need help getting Minnesota Driving Privileges restored after an out of state DWI, call Keller Law Offices at 952-913-1421.  After this Pallas v.
