Is It Legal To Sleep In your Vehicle?

Doubt it if its illegal in Commifornia. They don't even ticket or tow expired registration if your living in it anymore. What does the highway patrol tell you if you come too and find yourself drunk behind the wheel? Pull over, take the keys out of the ignition and put them into the glove compartment, lock the doors and take a nap. It could save your life. Far less punishment for sleeping in the car than being DUI.

When I lived in CA I was coming home from a party and realized I was seeing two center lines in the road, so I pulled off the hiway in a town along the beach and took the keys out of the ignition and dropped them on the floor.
About 3 in the morning I woke up to a cop pounding on my window, and he asked if I had been drinking.
I told him I had pulled over to sleep it off and he wrote me a ticket for illegal camping.
The Judge dropped the charges and told me to do the exact same thing if that ever happened again.
