As long as she was behind the wheel then they can get u for dui. Also it's her word against their word on whether her rights were read to her. Who do u think they are gonna believe? The cops or someone being arrested for dui?

My eyes... what is this? I can't even...

That's the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen...

On topic, the cops can't charge you with a DUI unless you're behind the wheel AND the key is in the ignition (regardless if the car is started or not).

Sorry about the crappy night and your phone. At least you have a replacement phone on the way.

My Septembers just suck in general
My one month and one day old phone cracked
My Ps3 had the yellow light of death again
I lost 15 hours of final fantasy 13 gameplay a second time
School started
Comicon tickets sold out minutes before I went on the site and I need up buying them for $30 more than retail price
My new chem teacher has it out for me and grades me really harshly compared to everyone else
My savings are nearly dry (like $100 left)
When I went to preorder halo 4 limited edition at GameStop they told me they sold out (how it was a preorder?)
There is plenty more I just can't remember

Not to ruin your weekend but they only have to read you the rights if they plan on questioning you. If they don't, or if they don't use your statements against you then they don't need to read your rights. Hey an attorney though, .0178 is over double the limit in most states and carries jail time.

Lol nobody ever gets it right when talking blood alcohol content. .0178 is below the .08 limit that most states have and the op said 1.78 which would make her dead lol.

First thing, getting drunk, in general is lame. Getting totally tore up and then deciding to get in a car is stupid. ESPECIALLY at a military base.

3rd, Wirefly has the SG III for 100 bucks. Pony up the money and just replace the one your girl dropped in the head

not to add insult to injury but these are words of wisdom... getting plastered usually leads to some sort of event or series of events that like wat u described make ur life hell... avoid it in the future by limiting ur consumption... u don't remember much past the drunk stage so why make memories u can't remember?

well the police said its a federal court matter, not a state court matter which is better because federal court is less harsh. we had a ride, basically we turned on the battery to listen to the radio until our ride got there.

And yeah I was typing it all on my phone that was just dropped into the toilet, i apologize for the punctuation and improper grammer lol



But anyways the worst part was probably her DUI, which I am looking up on the net to see what exactly constitutes as a DUI (Driving under the influence) the key word is driving, her door (the driver door) was still open and eveything, and we were smoking a cigarette, listening to the radio. I did read up on some controversy over the field sobriety test be admissible in court, plus you have to fail or do poorly on the fst for them to have probable cause to give you a breathilizer, which they made her take one, they didn't give her the option to refuse it, Or I woulda told her to refuse the breathalizer. So I def think I will get a lawyer cuz the few cases I read where the dui suspect got off and the charges were dropped, were very similar to what happened that night :/

thanks for all the info tho guys I appreciate it

One, they don't GIVE you an option to refuse the breathalyzer. You have to verbally refuse to submit on your own volition (same goes for allowing the cops to search your car. You have the right to refuse the search, but they don't TELL you such).

Two, I've already told you... It doesn't matter that the car door was open or that she wasn't "driving" the car. As long as the key is in the ignition (even if the car isn't started), you can and will be charged with a DUI.

Back in college, a fellow fraternity brother of mine was charged with a DUI. He'd gotten drunk at a bar and had gone to his car to sleep off the alcohol. It was very cold outside (early December), he turned on his car for heat and got in the backseat to sleep. The cops found him and charged him with DUI because of this.

It doesn't matter that he wasn't "driving" at the time. Operating or potentially operating (having the key in the ignition) of the vehicle are both under the umbrella of driving. Arguing semantics or technicalities won't help in your girlfriend's case, unfortunately.

There should be a mandatory spelling/grammar test to pass in order to have an XDA account.

I thought that only occurred in the circumstance that the subject failed the field sobriety test beforehand.

Cops discretion, they say you have to fail two of three fields tests but the cop is the judge on the side of the road.

Something seems off about that. Who's to say that cops won't pull over random people and issue DUI's to people who refuse the breathalyzer? Even if they hadn't been drinking at all?
