Can I get a DUI in a parked car?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Lawrence Thomas Lewis (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Lawrence Lewis, P.C.
You can get a DUI in a parked car, especially when you pass out behind the wheel. You are an alcoholic sir. The first DUI did not communicate that. Now, you are here taking a nap (not passed out) for 90 minutes after drinking, and not being able to make in home. The officer found you in your subdivision with alcohol on your breath sleeping. Why did you not just drive home and sleep in your bed. Because you thought it would be a hoot to sleep in the vehicle, or you wanted to pretend you were homeless. Sir, you are an alcoholic.

Can I fight and win an underage drinking case in court?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
The charge is possession. A breath test is irrelevant because under age is zero tolerance. I would need to se the case file, but sounds like you got caught.

What are my chances of getting my DUI arrest dismissed?

Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
You will most likely not be able to get a DUI arrest dismissed, but there are several options for you to consider. First, you can take the case to trial, either with a jury or just a judge (a bench trial).  The State must prove your guilt beyond all reasonable doubt, and you don't have to prove anything or testify.  Second, you can ask the State Attorney to reduce the charges to reckless driving. This normally requires that you have a lawyer review the case and send a written request to the state outlining the reasons why the charge should be reduced. Third you can enter a plea agreement for a minimum mandatory disposition on the DUI charge. As for getting the State Attorney to simply say never mind and drop the charge, this will probably not happen.  The state can prosecute the case without a breath test and without field sobriety tests. They can rely on the police officers observations regarding your condition, if your eyes were red and glassy, your breath smelled of alcohol, you had poor balance, you slurred your speech, etc.  In some cases, a breath test or field sobriety tests could actually help you prove that you were not impaired. In your case, you don't have these pieces of evidence and the state will rely solely on the officers opinion.  You can be convicted based upon the opinion evidence of the officer.
