I thought "operating" a motor vehicle entailed putting it in motion on a public roadway but I'm curious to know how they busted someone for simply opening a car door whilst wasted...

A friend of mine got charged with DUI because he was drunk, sitting in his car in a parking lot with the radio on — was just listening to the Yankees game and waiting to be picked up because he was too drunk to drive. Since the keys were in the ignition (and I think the engine was running) he was charged with a DUI, even though the car wasn’t in motion.
