Can I be arrested in my house for a DUI?

Evan Austin Watson
Answered by attorney Evan Austin Watson
DUI/DWI lawyer at Zeliff Watson Attorneys at Law
Sure its legal, whether it holds in court is a different story. The officers in your case are trying to prove DUI based on circumstantial evidence.

Does anyone have to comply with probation terms before actually being sentenced and placed on probation?

Philip Daniel Hache
Answered by attorney Philip Daniel Hache
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Offices of Phil Hache
Sometimes there are specific terms that a Judge will place on someone as a condition of continued Own Recognizance release. For example, they were going to remand you into custody, but your attorney convinced the court to keep you out of jail while the case is pending, but you need to attend 2 AA meetings, or something of that nature. If you violate the court order to do the AA's in that example, there could be consequences from the Judge (ie. remanding you into custody and making you post bail or remain in custody while the case is pending), but it would not be a probation violation since you would not be on probation at that time.

If the police pull someone over the age of 21 over and find and open alcohol container in the car, would they be arrested?

If the alcohol container is open the person can be arrested, but would probably be only be given a citation to appear in court. It is against the law to ride in a vehicle and consume alcohol. It is illegal to ride in a vehicle with open alcohol containers.
