Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / May 25, 2021
Kyle Hummel, Appellant, v. Director of Revenue, Respondent.
Kyle Hummel appealed the Director of Revenue's revocation of his driving privileges for one year after he refused a chemical breath test following a DWI arrest. Hummel argued his refusal was not voluntary because he was not afforded a private consultation with his attorney in the patrol car. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, distinguishing a prior case that required privacy in a police station, noting that no such requirement exists for patrol cars and Hummel did not request privacy.
