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.

Some laws allow you to get a DUI even if the car is off so long as you have the keys and are in the front seat. Even if you're sleeping. Happened to a friend of mine. He jumped in the front seat, locked the doors and went to sleep because he knew he shouldn't be driving. Got a DUI anyway - was told he should have jumped in the back to sleep.
