I've never figured this out. If you aren't driving when the police approach you, how can you be charged with driving under the influence? If he got out of the car and crawled into a sleeping bag on the grass before dozing off, can he still be charged with DUI?
Somebody help me with this.
Yes he can. If you have keys to a car in your pocket and drunk, you can be charged with DUI because you have the ability to drive that car. (intent)
Same reason as in sleeping in car. First, you probably drove it to where you fell asleep, second, see above.
You can be charged with DUI driving a lawn mower, riding a horse, in wheelchair, 4 wheeler, etc.
And if you walk home? Public intoxication.
If the keys are in the ignition, you can be charged with DUI. If the vehicle is running, you can be charged with DUI.
If the vehicle is in your drive and locked in your Garage you can be charged with concealment of a Motor vehicle and DUI?!?!?
