would you resist arrest in this scenario?


scenario:

you've been drinking. you're not blackout drunk, but you're definitely inebriated. you've been at a friend's house for the evening but they live an hour away from you. you've got to drive home. you make it about 20 minutes and realize that you're too drunk for this. you stop at a park to sleep it off until the morning.

you doze off.

next thing you know, you're waking to a police officer tapping on driver's side glass with a flashlight asking to speak with you.
the police officer is talking to you brusquely and has you take a breathalyzer.
you know you're drunk. he knows you're drunk. everyone knows it's against the law to drink and drive, which you clearly were doing.

do you resist arrest in this scenario?

I would definitely refuse the breathalyzer and field sobriety tests.

so, knowing you were breaking the law, you would continue trying to skirt punishment for breaking the law
just to clarify

Some states will charge you with a DUI for refusing a breathalyzer and arrest you on the spot.

DUI is expensive as shit so I can understand why someone would try to skirt it

resisting arrest is a death wish, regardless of whether it's right or wrong (obviously would be wrong to lose your life in this case but)

I'm not the type of person who's gonna say "nice shoes" when I have a boot on my neck, those tests are unconstitutional and infringe on my rights.

Likely doesn't matter.

Your car got there somehow so the obvious logical follow is that you drove drunk to get there

Sure, assuming I was stupid enough to drive after drinking in the first place. But if I was for whatever reason in this nevergonnahappen scenario, that's what I would do + not sleeping in the driver seat.

You don't sound very confident in your answer, lol.

I wasn't breaking the law. I pulled over and slept, which is what people are supposed to do. Fuck the cops for trying to arrest me for doing the right thing

Then they take you to the station and have you do the breathalyzer there.

This situation happened to a buddy of mine. Parked in a gas station parking lot and fell asleep, cops saw him and wound up taking him to the station and got charged with a dui.

I refuse to do any test. I'm not in some cuck state that gives you an automatic DUI for that. Plus I can afford a lawyer so I don't care.

Best bet would be to take keys out of the ignition and sleep in either the passenger or backseat. It's fucked up but the cops can argue that you had intent to drive if you're in the driver seat, even if keys are thrown in the backseat

Isn't obeying the law technically resisting or avoiding arrest?

This. He didn't see me driving. How would he not know that I just drank it all right there without the car running? I've actually been in a scenario like this before. I put my keys in the trunk so there's no way the cop could've said I was in physical control of the vehicle. You sleep in the back seat, keys in the trunk. He can't do jack unless you're parked illegally.

Is the idea that I'm supposed to feel bad for "skirting my punishment"?

Nope you're just a symbol
Worse guys than you will do worse things to skirt punishment for worse things theyve done
We seem to have forgotten this entirely

If the cops catch you committing a crime and your response is to start a fight with them, things might not go so well for you.
