Joe D. Garibay, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Administration, Division of Motor Vehicles, Appellee

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed the DMV’s 90‑day license revocation, holding that the exclusionary rule does not apply to administrative license revocation hearings except in rare, exceptional circumstances that were not present. The court reasoned that the investigative stop’s legality is irrelevant to the revocation and that the DMV has jurisdiction regardless of the arrest’s lawfulness under the implied‑consent statute.
