I was under the impression that Constitutional protections didn’t apply in these cases because a DUI offense is a motor vehicle violation, not a crime.

Depends if the auto is semi or full. Does it have a “bumper” stock? Crazy, I know.

For something that’s not a crime a lot of people spend a lot of time in jail for it.

DUI, Homicide by vehicle, feticide by vehicle and reckless driving are all crimes by individual statutes and not moving violations.

How in the world could you ever come up with that?

DUI IS a crime. Motor vehicle violations are almost always a crime as well.
