if the cops never saw him driving, he doesn't have anything to worry about and you don't need to bother testifying.

So if cops came to the scene of a crash and found the owner of one of the vehicles stumbling around drunk they wouldn't be able to charge him with DUI? lol. Depending on the state he very well could be considered to have had constructive control over the vehicle, in which case it doesn't matter whether the cops saw him driving it.


STOP GIVING LEGAL ADVICE IF YOU AREN'T A [censored] LAWYER.

True, I'm not a lawyer, but my best friend is a state trooper and he says all the times he comes upon single car accidents where the owner of the car is obviously drunk and he can't charge them with DUI because he has no evidence that they were driving. Don't know if this is a state by state thing but that's just what I know. If I'm wrong, I apologize.
