No dude, just no. Technically a cop may have been able to arrest you, and maybe some District Attorney might even decide to press charges, but no jury would ever find you guilty if it got that far.

apparently the key in the ignition is a trigger.
I know a guy who got a DWI for sleeping in his car (outside of a bar) while his car was parked because he had too much to drink to drive home.

Lol, yeah after two years of dealing with this bullshite. Y'all act like he would get arrested and the very next morning be thrown in front of a jury. Sorry, but no. They'd milk every cent out if him before that.

But he was drinking in his vehicle that was on. So in his case, the officer had every reason to. I was agreeing it would be thrown out, after he had to deal with all the other stuff.
My point was that the officer didn't even need that much evidence to arrest and charge him.

in the eyes of your auto insurer the charge of a DUI carries as much weight as a conviction
Only convictions show up on Motor Vehicle Record (driving record) reports...whether its DUI, speeding, or running a red light. No conviction, no record of the offense on your MVR report that the insurer sees.
So the only way an insurer should find about a DUI arrest that you never got convicted on is if you were arrested after an accident and the cop mentions you being arrested for being suspected of DUI in the police report for the accident.

Its always been like that 
So its OK for someone to get shitfaced at the casino and get in their car and drive, but as long as they don't make it out the garage or parking lot, then no DUI because private property, right?

be careful. i still have some pennies left and can find out where you live...

Not sure if y'all have a physical control statute in Louisiana, but you could have been charged with being in the vehicle, with the keys, in the driver's seat if so.

i get that. i have a friend who grew up dirt poor in a trailer in arkansas with an alcoholic dad. one morning he woke up and the entire trailer was vibrating.
goes outside and his dad passed out with the car still in drive and it was pushing up against the trailer.
he said he just reached in the open window, turned the key off and went back to bed.

well, you've obviously got your mind made up on this but insurance companies will find out about a DUI charge prior to the resolution of the case, there's a poster on the previous page that attested to this, I've done quite a bit of work with the EAP where I work, mainly trying to help prevent the EAP from trying to ruin peoples lives, DUI charges are fairly common, and I can assure you that the insurance company will know of the charge and it will have negative ramifications regardless of the outcome, if you are licensed by the federal government, they will also find out
