Can I be charged with a DUI if the keys were outside of the car and the arresting officer smelled?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
The car needs to actually be moving to be convicted of DUI. Some states have operating under the influence statutes which allow prosecution for being in or around the car while drunk. California requires what's called volitional movement of the vehicle to obtain a conviction. I like to remind cops, prosecutors and people that the "D" in DUI stands for driving and they must prove that the person charged was driving to obtain a conviction. There are a couple of exceptions to the driving requirement and those are covered under Vehicle Code Section 40300.5. If you've been in an accident or if the car is blocking the roadway, then the cops don't need to see the car move. In addition to the requirement to prove Driving at trial, the common law and Penal Code Section 836 require that a misdemeanor offense occur in the presence of the cop who makes an arrest for the arrest to be lawful. A DUI cannot occur in the officer's presence, if he doesn't see (sense) driving. This may not be an issue if there are other crimes that can be charged.

If I got a DWI 8 months ago and haven't gotten any paperwork, what should I do?

Gregory Casale
Answered by attorney Gregory Casale (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Gregory Casale, Attorney at Law
You should have a lawyer check to make sure that you have no outstanding warrant that you are unaware of and if that is clean, forget about it unless you hear otherwise. You should have a lawyer check on the warrant instead of trying to do it yourself since you do not want to inadvertently initiate something that wouldn't otherwise happen. Also, you should make sure that the RMV and the Post Office have your correct mailing address. It is our legal obligation to make sure the RMV has current address and you want the post office to be accurate to make sure you don't miss a mailing. If there are no outstanding warrants, then forget and see what, if anything, happens.

That should be a private document. Send the hospital a letter through a qualified DUI attorney advising them not to breach patient confidentiality.
