What Illinois Drivers Need to Know
For many people in Chicago and throughout Illinois, the idea of sleeping in a parked car after a night out seems like the safe and responsible alternative to driving under the influence. After all, if you’re not behind the wheel with the engine running, how could that possibly lead to an arrest?

In fact, under current DUI statutes, it’s entirely possible to be charged—and convicted—of driving under the influence even if your car never moved an inch. At The Law Offices of David L. Freidberg, we regularly represent individuals arrested under these circumstances, and we’ve seen just how aggressive police and prosecutors can be when they believe someone was in “actual physical control” of a vehicle while impaired.
