Hey guys, Anthony Bandiero Here, attorney, Senior Legal instructor for blue to gold law enforcement training, bringing the roadside chat from a cop. In Utah, the cop asked me something that's actually a base in statutory law, but has a search and seizure component. The officer says, Can you arrest someone for DUI? If you did not see them in actual physical control of the vehicle? Alright.

So the answer is it depends on your state law, because DUI statutes come in two flavors, what are both? What are they have both. One is that the statute requires that the person be driving at the time of contact, or, and or they be in actual physical control, which is where you can prove circumstantially that they were driving the vehicle previously. Now, most states in my experience, allow both right? You the person's driving, right? Which obviously, implies that they're an actual physical 12 That time, or you can also prove circumstantially that they were driving the vehicle in the past that is most common with accidents, right?

You can also have direct evidence by them making admissions and so forth, but usually gonna have to have something more than just the admission that they drove the vehicle.

He makes admissions that he was in the area of where the traffic cones and people ran up the road. But he tells the cops that he drank alcohol since then at home. Now the officer saying in his training experience, there's no way he could have got that intoxicated within the 10 minutes, meaning most people don't drink that heavily within the last 10 minutes, and so forth. Now, the question ultimate question again is, can we arrest this person? ...
