Will the state where he has a warrant pick him up for a DUI charges if his case in another state is still open?

Answered by attorney Robert Edward McCall (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Robert E. McCall
There is no Yes/No answer. It depends on the law of the state that has the open warrant. Usually, that charge is a misdemeanor or less and the state issuing the warrant is responsible for the cost of transportation; most states will not pay the cost of transportation for such a minor charge. Be aware that if he is arrested for any charge and the arresting state runs a computer check and sees an open warrant, the arresting state can hold him for a period of time to give the state issuing the warrant an opportunity to come and get him. Usually, the maximum hold is 30 days.

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.
