I was scheduled for court today at 1pm, but I thought it was tomorrow what should I do?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Call the Clerk of Court. Identify yourself and the name and number of the case. Explain that you missed court today because of a mistake, and you would like your appearance re-scheduled. If you do it soon enough, the Clerk's office is likely to agree. If it is a criminal matter, they will probably have you speak to the District Attorney. Often they understand that ordinary humans make mistakes, and they have procedures t0 straighten things out. In addition, if anything serious in the way of money or your liberty is potentially at stake, you'd really benefit from hiring a lawyer.

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.
