QUESTION
Is there any way to dismiss the evidence collected by the cop against me due to the voluntary intoxication?
Asked on Oct 02nd, 2013 on DUI/DWI - Nevada
More details to this question:
I was recently arrested for DUI in my work parking lot. I arrived on the lot and drank a large amount of liquor and then went inside to work. I came back out and fell asleep in my car on the horn and the cops were called. A coworker had my keys at the time of police arrival, but I was blackout drunk, took a sobriety test and possible admitted to driving. Is there any way to dismiss the evidence collected by the cop against me due to the voluntary intoxication? That is considering I never committed the crime of DUI?

Yes there is. You need to get a lawyer and take this to trial. They have to prove that you drove while you were drunk. You do not have to prove anything.

In California you must be driving to be convicted of DUI. Being behind the wheel is not enough.

No. As you have stated in your question: You were voluntarily intoxicated.

You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

No, that's not a defense.
