OK, I'll give it a try. Good story but in most states, if not all,
the cops do not have to wait for you to start the car and drive off. If
you are sitting in it and have the keys that is sufficient for a
DUI/DWI bust.

Is that for acting stupid or being stupid in your car. Can you be
arrested for stumbling and playing with the controls in your car?

Demand a breathalyzer and a blood test.

Yeah, but there's probably some other law that could send you to the
pokey. Perhaps, interfering with a police investigation. Overall, I've
found it's best not to f' with cops.

When I was younger I had some interaction with my State Troopers
(Virginia), mostly of the driving too fast kind. They didn't understand
that a pony likes to get out and run and where better to do it than on
the Interstate.

Several years later I moved to Maryland and I drove into Virginia often.
My truck at the time started its life, post delivery from Ford, to a
Virginia dealership and the Virginia dealership slapped on the Virginia
State Inspection sticker. I had Maryland tags and could care less about
the Virginia State Inspection sticker but, the Virginia State Troopers
did.

I was stopped several times by the Virgina State Troopers and they could
only ask me politely to remove the expired state inspection sticker on
the windshield. That truck was traded in for the new truck with the
Virginia State Inspection sticker still on the Windshield.

F'ing with the Virginia State Troopers was a sport for me at that time.
