People v. Brown
Supreme Court of Colorado
Decided May 17, 1971No. 24685PublishedCited by 39 opinions
1Opinion of the CourtJustice Lee
This writ of error involves the constitutionality of the implied consent statute of the state of Colorado, 1967 Perm. Supp., C.R.S. 1963, 13-5-30 (3) et seq. The district court of Adams County held this statute to be unconstitutional, and in doing so voided the Adams County Court conviction of defendant in error, Richard Oliver Brown, of driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of intoxicating liquor in violation of C.R.S. 1963, 13-5-30(1). We hold the implied consent law to be constitutional and therefore reverse the judgment of the district court.
