Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

Re: dui parked

There are definitely grounds for fighting this at trial. The statute requires "operation", so depending on how the cop wrote up the report, there may be grounds to fight it. Feel free to call our offices or e-mail me directly. Danny Cevallos, Esquire, [email protected]

Re: dui parked

A lot depends on the facts. If the keys were in the ignition and the car was running, even if you were passed out cold, you are not going to have much of a defense. On the other hand, if the car was parked and the keys were in your pocket and you were sleeping it off after leaving a bar, you may have a shot at it.

With DUI cases there is always a question of whether or not you want to take the risk of trying a case or whether it is better to take an early plea or go ARD, if it's available, and you should talk to an attorney before you make any decision on how to proceed.
