> in the us, you can be in your car as long as the keys arent in the ignition. i think that used to be true but no longer and its kinda up to the officer. if you are in the car even if the keys are not in the ignition they can give you a dui still. i think its because they figure that drunk people make irrational decisions and are usually intending to drive. most cops will just let you sleep it off though. its just that its up to their discretion.
