What are my penalties?? If charged as a misdemeanor, up to a year in jail. If a felony, from one to four years, depending upon the specific charges filed. What will the outcome ?? The honest answer is that no attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, police reports, expected testimony, priors history, etc. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

Yes. You will be charged. You will likely lose your DL from DMV at an express consent hearing - there is some bad case-law on this exact situation - you could lose you license even if the keys are not in the ignition, car not running - at trial, we have better defenses and could win.
