Police Charge Amish Man With DUI

WTF?

Police in central Pennsylvania say they arrested an Amish man on drunk driving charges over the weekend after he was found asleep in his moving buggy.

Really, WTF? Let’s start with some logic; I’m not sure of Pennsylvania DUI laws and I’m too fucking lazy to look it up, but most states specify ‘motor-vehicle’ as a requirement for DWI/DUI. For example, generally, you can’t get a DWI/DUI on a bicycle or skateboard. In addition, although the story doesn’t say so, I’m assuming the horse wasn’t drunk.

Update: Well, what do you fucking know. The legislature in PA is fucking retarded.

From here:

Section 3802. Driving under influence of alcohol or controlled substance.

(a) General impairment.

(1) An individual may not drive, operate or be in actual physical control of

the movement of a vehicle after imbibing a sufficient amount of alcohol such

that the individual is rendered incapable of safely driving, operating or being in

actual physical control of the movement of the vehicle.

(2) An individual may not drive, operate or be in actual physical control of

the movement of a vehicle after imbibing a sufficient amount of alcohol such

that the alcohol concentration in the individual’s blood or breath is at least .08%

but less than .10% within two hours after the individual has driven, operated or

been in actual physical control of the movement of the vehicle.

And then they appear to fail to define ‘vehicle’. So, essentially, you can be arrested for DUI on a fucking skateboard in Pennsylvania.
