Florida’s DUI laws are written such that any “VEHICLE” you operate can get you a DUI, even a skateboard, and it has happened..................
When I lived in North Carolina there was a guy in our county who got arrested for being drunk on a horse.
The idea was to ride the horse to the bar, get drunk, untie the horse, get on it and it would naturally walk home. Police had other things in mind.
Just think of all those golf carts at The Villages!
What if it’s a self-driving car?
Am I still “operating” it if I’m passed out in the backseat?
I find this dubious that a DUI arrest could occur, unless the police (policy enforcers) claimed he was driving in a motor vehicle with DUI, and the bicycle was just incidental as the means of evading them.
For a DUI to stick legally, it is that one is operating a motor vehicle, under ‘contract’.
The State can do this because they essentially have allodial rights as per the title of the automobile (we grant the State these rights when we purchase the auto, by allowing the dealer to send the manufacturer’s MCO/MSO to the respective State Motor Vehicle Registry.
