Legal Question in DUI Law in Minnesota

Implied Consent

I was recently charged with DUI. I was in my vehicle with the keys in the ignition. I know that is enough to charge me because I showed intent to drive my vehicle. I took all the FTS and the preliminary BAC at the vehicle, once I got to the station, they placed me in a room. They came and asked about another BAC. I stated I wanted to talk to an attorney. They never gave me acess to phone or a phone book after my request. They asked if someone could come and take me home, I gave them that number. While they were fingerprinting me, I asked when I was taking the BAC. The bailer stated I had been afforded that opportunity and I refused. I asked again. Then I asked if he was refusing to give me the BAC, he said yes. I started to ask questions, and I was ''reminded'' that I had been compliant thus far, and not to ''start'' anything when I was going home. I signed a form that they told me was my 7 day permit - not the implied consent form for the year suspension and the refusal for the BAC. I have not gone to court yet, Oct. 30, I go. What are my options at this point? I do not intend to fight the DUI portion, but, what can I do about the refusal side of the ticket? This is my first offense. Thanks
