Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

D.U.I. in Pennsylvania

Last night, I started driving home from a bar. I realized that I should not be driving, so I pulled over, turned off my car, removed the keys from the ignition and put them in my pocket. A few minutes later, two police officers pulled over, breathalized me, and then took me to the hospital for blood testing. Is it legal to charge somebody with a d.u.i. if they're not operating the vehicle? Did the police have the right to arrest me?

They may not have had probable cause and the case against you may be dismissed. You need to speak to a lawyer to review all of the facts of the case. I offer free initial consultations.
