From The Kugel Law Firm – In this episode, we dive into the important question, "Can You Get a DUI on Private Property?" and explore how New Jersey DUI laws apply beyond public roads. Many people believe that being on private property shields them from DUI charges, but under New Jersey law, driving while intoxicated (DWI) on private land, including your own driveway, can still lead to serious consequences. The concept of "Intent to Operate" plays a significant role in determining whether you can be charged, even if you never actually drive the vehicle. This episode breaks down how these laws impact drivers across the state.

We also cover the legal implications of DUI charges on private property and how factors such as your position in the vehicle, possession of keys, and visible impairment can be used to prove intent to operate. New Jersey DUI lawyers at The Kugel Law Firm are skilled in analyzing these situations and challenging charges to protect your rights. Whether you’re at home, in a parking lot, or any other non-public area, understanding the reach of New Jersey’s DUI laws is essential for anyone facing these charges.

Additionally, we examine the potential consequences of a DUI conviction on private property, including criminal penalties, the impact on your driver's license through actions by the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC), and the possible installation of an Ignition Interlock Device (IID). Our discussion also includes how field sobriety tests (FSTs) and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests can be challenged in court to build a solid defense. These legal tools are vital for protecting your rights and minimizing the long-term impact of a DUI conviction.
