For example, private drive ways and parking lots may still be seen as a public vehicular area, and thus you could be charged. Still the fact you cite is very important. Raleigh has some excellent DWI attorneys. Seek some referrals, and hire an attorney experienced in DWI cases. It will make a tremendous difference in your case. Good luck.

I think everyone has suggested that you consult with an attorney to evaluate your case. He or she will know the proper questions to ask regarding the private property issue and whether or not the State may be able to prove driving and/or relevant time. Good luck?

   Answered January 31, 2013 18:33. private property and public property are treated the same---meaning law enforcement has the power to do as is needed w/in the realm of certain offenses (e.g. criminal offenses or other acts that can be deemed to put the public at risk (DUI)). Get a GOOD atty as the downside of not using one is just plain terrible (in most cases).
