See McCoy, 2014 ND 119, \u00b6 21, 848 N.W.2d 659; Smith, 2014 ND 152, \u00b6 16, 849 N.W.2d 599; State v. Boehm, 2014 ND 154, \u00b6 20, 849 N.W.2d 239; Fetch, 2014 ND 195, \u00b6 9. The United States Supreme Court has not decided, and it is a question of first impression in North Dakota, whether criminalizing a refusal to consent to a chemical test violates a person&#8217;s right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.<\/p>\n<p>[*P12]  Birchfield has not drawn our attention to any appellate court decisions striking down criminal refusal statutes, and we have found that since the Supreme Court&#8217;s ruling in McNeely, criminal refusal statutes have continued to withstand Fourth Amendment challenges, particularly in Minnesota. &#8230;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Following is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ndcourts.gov\/_court\/opinions\/20140154.htm\">State v.
