Alaska Supreme Court

Garibay v. State, Dept. of Administration, Division of Motor Vehicles

November 28, 2014

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the DMV’s revocation of Garibay’s driver’s license, holding that the exclusionary rule does not apply to license‑revocation hearings except in rare, exceptional circumstances, that none of those exceptions applied here, and that the DMV had authority to revoke despite the implied‑consent statute’s reference to a lawful arrest.
