    Default MIP and Obstruction

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Montana

    ok I was walking home and saw a cop turn around so I started to run. They never turned on their lights or told me to stop. I did not have alcohol on my person. I was arrested for mip and obstruction of justice. There is no way to know I had been drinking. I did not give a breathe test. I have court on monday. What should I do?

    Speaking from past experrience, all they have to do is claim they smelled alcohol on your breath. I refused a breath test and they still cited me for minor in consumption because the cops can claim whatever they want. I would postpone my court date and hire an attorney. Let the attorney handle it for you. You may not be required to even make an appearance. If you cannot afford an attorney I would just find out what I would have to do to have the case dismissed, which may include community service, fines, etc. That's my advice, but there are probably other people on this forum with more knowledge of the legal remedies.
