One person who is one of my son's karate instructors got a DUI back in 2005. He was at a bar, had a few drinks and there was a fight. He was outside with keys in the hand but far from his car. Got arrested. They didn't arrest him for Public Intox but instead went for DUI.

I also know a person who was in the passenger seat, the driver went into a store and the passenger got a DUI as well.

Wow, ok so this is why I say the pendulum has swung to far with prosecution of DWI/DUI.

How does a court convict someone or for that matter LE even arrest someone for DUI when they never even got in their vehicle? And when did a Pasenger become susceptible to DUI prosecution?

What is it PUI? RUI?

This is nuts.

We need to keep drunks off the road but we must do it wihin the confines of the law, les we become some bannana republic.
