Yes, you can be stopped and arrested for DUI in Florida even if the vehicle was not moving. Under Florida law, a person can be charged with DUI if they are in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. This means that even if the vehicle is parked and not moving, a person can be arrested for DUI if they are found to have been driving while impaired.
In order to prove that someone was in actual physical control of a vehicle, prosecutors will look at several factors, such as whether the keys were in the ignition or nearby, whether the person was sitting in the driver’s seat and whether there were any attempts to start the engine. If all of these elements are present, then it is likely that an individual can be charged with DUI even if their vehicle was not moving.
It is important to remember that anyone operating a motor vehicle should do so responsibly and legally.
