    Florida man fakes sleeping in passenger seat after DUI stop
    Deputies in Jensen Beach, Florida, encountered an unusual tactic during a DUI stop on Monday – the driver pretended to be asleep in the passenger seat of an empty car. The brazen tactic was made worse by the fact that the deputies had seen him behind the wheel moments earlier.

    Most people don’t understand the broad powers that a potential DUI can have. You really can’t sleep it off in your car like the old days. You can still get a DUI. There’s some argument to be made if the car is turned off you put the keys in the trunk and you’re sleeping in the backseat you might be able to get away with it, but they still might try to make that Stick. In many states, you can even get a DUI riding a bicycle and most people don’t understand this. You can also potentially pass a breathalyzer test and still be charged with a DUI at the officers discretion in many states. And this is actually happened. Although you would have a good legal argument, people have been convicted of DUIs despite passing the breathalyzer bottom line is if you drink you shouldn’t get anywhere near vehicle of any kind. Especially if you’re holding a CDL.

    In some states you can actually get a DUI on a horse. Not sure about KY.
