Criminal Law in Minnesota

There are two main types of criminal offenses in Minnesota: misdemeanors and felonies. Although a misdemeanor is not as serious as a felony offense, getting convicted can still lead to a jail sentence and fines worth thousands of dollars.

The following are the three types of misdemeanors in MN:

Petty Misdemeanor: The least serious misdemeanor offense in Minnesota. It carries a maximum penalty of a $300 fine.
Misdemeanor: This type of misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000.
Gross Misdemeanor: Considered the most serious offense, a conviction is punishable by a maximum jail term of 364 days and/or a fine of up to $3,000.

On the other hand, Minnesota does not divide felony offenses into classifications like other states. Instead, state law specifies the maximum penalties for each felony. A conviction can not only result in imprisonment and fines worth tens of thousands of dollars, it can also lead to the loss of certain rights, like the right to vote or own a firearm.

What Should I Do If I’VE BEEN ARRESTED?

1. Don’t Talk to the Police!
It’s crucial to know that while you should remain respectful with authorities, you have the right to remain silent. This a right protected by the Fifth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which makes it clear individuals are protected from being compelled to be a witness against him / herself in criminal matters.
It’s important to note that:
- Talking will not help you avoid an arrest. If law enforcement has probable cause to arrest you, then they will arrest you.
- By speaking, you risk making a confession or providing information that can be used to indict you, even unknowingly.
- Even if you feel that information being discussed is “harmless,” it is still in your best interest to invoke your Fifth Amendment right.
2. Ask for a Lawyer!

As soon as you can you should elect your right to have a defense attorney present. A Minnesota criminal defense lawyer or public defender can ensure the police do not violate your rights and help you avoid saying anything incriminating during questioning.
