Roby Arrested

[Superman]

Whether correct legally or not, it is ridiculous. You leave your friend's party get in your car, put the key in, then you make the wise decision that you have had too much to drive. However, you are impaired enough not to think to remove the keys. Sure, you could have gone back in and slept on your friend's couch, but what if it was a bar you left and that isn't an option?

You did the right thing and still get ******.

Q: Does the car have to be moving for me to be guilty of DUI?
A: No. You do not need to have actually operated the car in order to be arrested. Believe it or not, you can still be found guilty of a DUI if you had the capability and opportunity to operate the vehicle. It does not matter if you exercised that capability or opportunity at the time of the arrest. In other words, you can be charged with a DUI for sitting behind the wheel of your car with the keys in the ignition.

while this is for the state of Pennsylvania, it's probably a fairly common law.

Factors that are considered when determining actual physical control may include:

If you’re awake
If your headlights are on
Where the ignition key is
If the vehicle is legally parked or in the roadway
If your vehicle’s engine is running or the ignition is on
Where and in what position you are found in the vehicle

Laws differ from state to stater and each factual patternis looked at on a case by case basis, but here are some examples of cases where people have been charged with DUI and were not driving.

Sleeping in the drivers’ seat of their car with the car off and their keys in their pocket.

Stting in the drivers’ seat with the keys in the ignition, just listening to music.

Stumbling up to their car fumbling their keys to open the door.

Walking from their car to their front door that had been seen previously drinking.

Asleep with the seatbelt on, but hybrid car with no ignition

The bottom line is if you’re under the influence, and in physical control of your vehicle, you may be arrested for DUI depending on what state you’re in.

sleeping in the car with the keys in your POCKET. damn!

Still, you make the right decision and get ******. Welcome to justice in Amerika. As your next post shows, even going the extra mile and putting the keys in your pocket might not be good enough.

I guess you can sit outside of your car, even if it is freezing outside, so you don't get the DUI, but SURPRISE, now you get public drunkeness.

and if you go home with some drunken floozy you meet at a bar, you can then wake up to rape charges.
you know, since you were passed out and have no memory of what happened.

Stumbling up to their car fumbling their keys to open the door.

Wow.....fetching something from my car? Can we all say "draconian"?

Walking from their car to their front door that had been seen previously drinking.

The door deserves to be pinched if it's been drinking....or was it the car?

Like I said. Leave your keys under your car and you can sleep in it without the ability to charge for DUI. If the keys are not in the car you can't be seen with the intent to operate. Also sleeping in the back seat helps with intent as well.

I think from 1 AM to 3 AM it should be legal to drive drunk.

Drive at your own risk.

I just don't drink, gave it up awhile ago. I do however, give drinking friends a ride home. No DUIs that way.



Salute the nation

Roby should claim he was drunk when he tried to cover Abberderis of Wisconsin, that might help his draft stock.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

ok,, yadda yadda don't get in a car drunk with keys ..>

NOW

Seen some mocks where steelers take roby... and 49rs get dennard later...
I call BS... but im no expert.

However... The 49rs have a buttload of picks this draft.. Not out of the question for them to trade up in order to nab dennard or gilbert.

Yinz'll run with anything....


Roby posted his paperwork on Twitter....

0 BAH...no arrest....no nothin' but gettin' hassled by the man tryin' to keep him down.

It is that attitude that allows government so much power. The government could accomplish the exact same result by watching a guy sleep in his car. If he starts it and puts it in gear, they can then test him. You know, when he actually does something wrong rather than when he might. This is just another invented crime to get people.

After all, why not arrest him on the way from the door of the bar to the car? Even if he is going to someone else's car, he is drunk in public.

It's for the children.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

ark.. I blame you for this law.. for not being more adamant in your stance.

I was doing yadda yaddda,, cause Its a short argument for me... its stupid. I wanted to compare him with dennard and the 49rs without starting a new thread.
