Back in high school (the 80's) a friend told me about getting caught drinking in the park.
He was the most intelligent/aware/balanced/best driver of the bunch.
Chucked his keys into the grass more than 25 feet away when the officer wasn't looking.
No keys=No drive.
He picked them up, showed them to the officer, and walked away.
Had a buddy pick up the car soon after.
Legally the cops would have to first prove he could have driven the vehicle without keys. No go.
Meanwhile, he had a multitude of other cars ready to get around.
Conversely, I read a story of a guy getting the full force of a DUI for pulling into a parking lot and 'sleeping it off'.
The right thing to do.
Moral of the story is:
Break the law, skip sentence.
Try to follow the law, go to jail.
