Legal Question in DUI Law in Minnesota

Re: DUI specialty license plates

The short answer is "no." But that does not mean the state will not try to impound your plates. if they do, you have remedies and may fie a swworn statement with the commissioner seeking the return of your plates. If that fails, you may seek administrative or judicial review.

Minnesota Statutes sec. 169A.60 indicates that with respect to a plate impoundment order, the following applies:

The order must require the impoundment of the registration plates of the motor vehicle

involved in the plate impoundment violation and all motor vehicles owned by, registered, or

leased in the name of the violator, including motor vehicles registered jointly or leased in the

name of the violator and another. The commissioner shall not issue an impoundment order for

the registration plates of a rental vehicle, as defined in section 168.041, subdivision 10, or a

vehicle registered in another state.
