Can you get a DUI in a parked car? - DUI Law Firm Denver
Unfortunately the answer is Yes. This comes as a big surprise to poeple but they usually don't find out that this is true until they get a DUI for sleeping in their car.
The law states that if you're in control of the vehicle you can be convicted of a DUI regardless of if you are driving or not. This means that the idea of sleeping it off in a car may land you in jail facing DUI charges.
