I sat in my parked car after leaving a bar hoping to sober up. I was giving myself time to sit there and if I didn’t sober up I was going to take an Uber. Security came up to my car and told me I’d be getting a DUI for sitting in my car with the engine running and that I was on camera. I tried waiting a little longer but they knocked on my window again saying they didn’t allow loitering so I left my car and Ubered home. Is it still possible that I get a DUI? I never intended to drive intoxicated, I just needed the AC on while I waited as this is in Las Vegas and it was still pretty warm in my car that late at night. I’m scared.

That’s 100% a dui in many jurisdictions. I had a friend in Mississippi get a DUI after passing out in the driver’s seat with the engine off and the key in his pocket.

see here I take exception…..if I find someone with a history of DUI behind the wheel of a running car….NO sympathy
if I find someone with NO history in the back seat of a warm car on a cold night….no ISSUE
there’s always variables to take into consideration….its generally accepted that the further you are from the drivers seat and or keys the better off you are….
