Re: dui
No. The police are allowed to secure the area, including the vehicle, to ensure their own safety and the security of the scene. Their order for a passenger to get out of the car is a legal order and must be followed. By refusing, the passenger would subject himself to arrest for refusing a lawful order, interfering with a police investigation, or a number of other misdemeanor charges.
