Today I'm creating an excel sheet of major cities and what the laws are or possibly are in regards to Rvs, camper vans and sleeping in a vehicle of any kind. I'm assuming this is going to take a while but I'll publish the information once I have a decent amount of information. If you know the laws of this in any city please forward it to me with the source of information if available and I'll add it. <br><br>Meanwhile I stumbled across this information from an attorney's website and thought it might be useful to know and or consider. If you are not drunk and haven't been drinking and you have no trunk to lock the opened bottle in does a locked cabinet can't as a storage that will prevent a person from a open container law?&Question: A couple of weeks ago I was out with my buddies and had a few drinks. Instead of taking a cab home, I decided to take a nap in my parked car until I sobered up. The next thing I know an officer is knocking on my window, giving me a sobriety test, and arresting me for a DUI. My keys were in the ignition because I was listening to the radio, but the engine wasn’t turned on. How can I be charged with a DUI if I wasn’t even driving?</strong></p><p>Although many assume that DUI or “driving under the influence†only involves driving, it also applies where someone is operating a vehicle — in this case, using the radio.</p><p>If you’re drunk and sitting inside the vehicle by yourself and the key is in the ignition, it doesn’t matter if the engine is on or off; this is still considered a DUI because you are “operating†the vehicle. Going even further, if the key is located within your reach <strong>or</strong> if you have a keyless ignition (push or remote start), as long as you are in a position to turn the car on, you can still be charged with a DUI.</p><p>While you may have been charged with a DUI — the circumstances are much different than a typical case where someone, for example, is pulled over while driving down Wilson Boulevard. In any criminal or DUI case, the facts and circumstances of your particular situation will be taken into consideration in determining the severity of the penalty.</p><p>In a complicated situation like the one you’ve described, it’s important not to try and talk your way out of trouble because anything you say can be used against you. It’s best to consult with an attorney who understands DUI laws to avoid digging yourself into an even deeper hole.</p><br><br>
