offcMe and my friends had pulled into a parking lot looking for another friend.. the girl who owns the car jumped outta the front seat and ran inside i got out of the back seat on the drivers side and a police officer had pulled in behind the car he orders me to get in the car.. drivers side front seat and then tells me to get back out of the car.. then proceeds to give me tests and a breathalyzer.. i told him the car was not mine the owner had just ran inside to get a friend.. i didnt even have the keys to the car.. he says in his report he saw me exit the vehicle and ordered me back info the vehicle to which i complied.. and then proceeds to arrest me.. but never went inside to question the owner of the car.. the owner/driver is going to court with me to tell them i wasnt driving..
There are usually statutes that prohibit actual physical control of vehicles, in addition to driving. You don't always need to have the keys, etc. Every state has different laws with what flies and what does not in those cases. Go hire an experienced DUI attorney and see if you can get a good result. Good luck!
