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

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.

How can Fla. Sheriff's Dept give a DUI to bicycle rider without probable cause?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
You certainly can get a DUI on a bicycle in Florida. The public policy behind this law is that you may hurt yourself or cause a traffic accident by riding your bicycle while impaired.  The facts you have mentioned pertain to the basis for the traffic stop and not whether you were impaired. A police officer does not have to have probable cause to make a traffic stop, only a reasonable belief that you violated a traffic law. Once he is in contact with you if he has reason to believe you are impaired, such as smelling alcohol, then he has probable cause to begin a dui investigation.

How does one fight a DUI in a different state?

Answered by attorney Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Rogers Law Firm
Yes, you definitely should fight it because a DUI conviction in another state will be reported back to your home state and your license will be revoked. Hire a DUI attorney who practices in the city or county where you received the out-of-state DUI.
