Can I still be charged for a DUI for sleeping in my car?

Answered by attorney Brad Alan Howell (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Meadows & Howell, LLC
The keys do not have to be in the ignition and the car does not have to be running in order for you to be convicted of a DUI. Whether you can be deemed as in "actual physical control" of the vehicle, as the law requires, depends on all of the relevant facts, but from what you've stated in your question, it appears that you could be convicted of a DUI. You can still always choose to take the charge to trial, but it does not sound like your public defender's suggestion is completely off base, as you'd have to prove a lot more than just the fact that the keys were not in the ignition or visible.

What can I do if I received a DUI charge but there was no dashboard video camera in the police car for me to use as evidence?

Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
Not all patrol cars are equipped with video cameras. There may be other ways to defend against a DUI depending on the evidence against you. I strongly suggest that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney for a face-to-face consultation and give him/her all of the facts surrounding your case. (S)he would then be in a better position to analyze your case and advise you of your options.

What are the chances of diversion if this is my first offense?

Answered by attorney Ernest Lee
DUI/DWI lawyer at Lee Law Group DUI Criminal Attorneys
Friend: You have an excellent chance at diversion if this is your first offense. I routinely obtain PC 1000 for my clients especially if the first offense. It sounds as if you are a fellow Californian.
