Inoperability of a vehicle serves as a defense in Clearwater to an Actual Physical Control DUI. An inoperable vehicle is one that cannot actually be driven due to a mechanical or alternative problem. Inoperability makes control over a vehicle and the risk of driving under the influence impossible. It must be shown that under no reasonable circumstances could the vehicle have been driven due to the mechanical problems. Further, for this defense to be successful, the evidence must also demonstrate that the intoxicated person did not operate the vehicle prior to it becoming disabled. If the facts of your case meet these requirements, it becomes the responsibility of the State Attorney in Clearwater to disprove every reasonable hypothesis of innocence.
