Murdoch v. DMV

Summary

The Oregon Supreme Court held that DMV properly suspended Murdoch's driving privileges after he refused a breath test. The arresting officer satisfied the implied-consent statutes by providing all statutorily required information, and her additional truthful statement that she would seek a search warrant did not invalidate the suspension because it did not alter the substance of the required advice. The court reversed the Court of Appeals and circuit court and affirmed DMV's order.
