I would like to capture a wild fox and keep it as a pet in Arizona. Is this okay based on Arizona and federal law? Do I need some sort of permit? Please cite to relevant Arizona and United States Code sections in your answer. |
It is not legal to capture a wild fox and keep it as a pet in Arizona without proper permits and licenses. Under Arizona law, it is illegal to possess wildlife without a valid permit. Arizona Revised Statutes § 17-303 makes it unlawful to take, transport, possess, process, sell or offer for sale any wildlife, including foxes, without a permit from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. In addition, federal law provides protection for wildlife, including foxes. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act (MBTA) and the Endangered Species Act (ESA) provide federal protections for certain species of foxes. The MBTA prohibits the taking, possession, transport, sale, or purchase of migratory birds and their parts, including feathers, nests, and eggs, without a permit or other authorization. The ESA prohibits the taking or possession of endangered or threatened species, which includes some species of foxes, without a permit or other authorization. To legally possess a wild fox in Arizona, you would need to obtain a permit from the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Permits are typically only granted for specific purposes, such as for wildlife rehabilitation or scientific research. It's important to note that wild animals may carry diseases, have specialized nutritional needs, and require specific living conditions that may not be safe or practical in a home environment. Additionally, it can be difficult to provide for the complex needs of wild animals and meet the requirements set by law. Therefore, it's generally not recommended to keep wild animals as pet. |

I have a question involving Arizona DUI law. The facts are that a woman named Drunka was arrested and charged with a DUI after a police officer found her drunk and sleeping in the back seat of her car while parked on the side of the road. Her keys were in the ignition. She is not planning to deny she was drunk. Please provide a detailed answer about her likelihood of conviction based on these facts. In your answer, please cite relevant statutes and multiple relevant Arizona cases. Please use Bluebook format for the citations. |
Under Arizona law, a person commits a DUI offense if they are in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 28-1381(A)(1) provides that "It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state under any of the following circumstances: (1) while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, a vapor releasing substance containing a toxic substance or any combination of liquor, drugs or vapor releasing substances if the person is impaired to the slightest degree." In the case of Drunka, she was found sleeping in the back seat of her car with the keys in the ignition. The issue then becomes whether she was in "actual physical control" of the vehicle. The Arizona Supreme Court has interpreted "actual physical control" broadly. In State v. Lovejoy, 171 Ariz. 160 (1992), the court held that a person who was found sleeping in the driver's seat of a car with the keys in the ignition was in actual physical control of the vehicle, even though the engine was not running. Similarly, in State v. Zaragoza, 129 Ariz. 38 (1981), the court held that a person who was found sleeping in the passenger seat of a car with the keys in the ignition was also in actual physical control of the vehicle. Based on these cases, Drunka's likelihood of conviction for a DUI appears to be high. She was found drunk in the back seat of her car with the keys in the ignition, which suggests that she had the present capability to operate the vehicle. This is consistent with the broad interpretation of "actual physical control" under Arizona law. It's worth noting that there are some exceptions to the "actual physical control" requirement. For example, in State v. Fierro, 224 Ariz. 1 (2010), the court held that a person who was sleeping in a parked car with the engine off and the keys not in the ignition was not in actual physical control of the vehicle. However, this exception is unlikely to apply to Drunka's case because her keys were in the ignition. In summary, Drunka's likelihood of conviction for a DUI appears to be high based on the facts provided and relevant Arizona statutes and cases. References:

Conclusion: Based on the facts provided and relevant Arizona law, Drunka's likelihood of conviction for a DUI offense appears to be high. Rule: Under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 28-1381(A)(1), it is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Explanation: The Arizona Supreme Court has interpreted "actual physical control" broadly in previous cases, such as State v. Lovejoy and State v. Zaragoza, to include situations where a person is found sleeping in a car with the keys in the ignition. The key factor in determining whether a person is in actual physical control of the vehicle is whether they have the present capability to operate the vehicle. Application: In the case of Drunka, she was found drunk in the back seat of her car with the keys in the ignition. This suggests that she had the present capability to operate the vehicle, and thus was in actual physical control of it. Therefore, based on the broad interpretation of "actual physical control" under Arizona law, Drunka's likelihood of conviction for a DUI appears to be high. Conclusion: Drunka's likelihood of conviction for a DUI appears to be high based on the broad interpretation of "actual physical control" under Arizona law and the fact that she was found drunk in the back seat of her car with the keys in the ignition. Possible Counterarguments: Drunka could argue that she did not have the present capability to operate the vehicle, such as if she had thrown the keys into the back seat and had no intention of driving. However, this argument may be less persuasive given that the keys were found in the ignition. Additionally, the court could potentially apply the exception to the "actual physical control" requirement outlined in State v. Fierro, but this is unlikely to apply to Drunka's case given the key position. |

Under Arizona law, it is clear that a person commits a DUI offense if they are in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. This is clearly stated in the Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 28-1381(A)(1), which provides that "It is unlawful for a person to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle in this state under any of the following circumstances: (1) while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, any drug, a vapor releasing substance containing a toxic substance or any combination of liquor, drugs or vapor releasing substances if the person is impaired to the slightest degree." In the case of Drunka, she was found sleeping in the back seat of her car with the keys in the ignition. The issue then becomes whether she was in "actual physical control" of the vehicle, a question that has been addressed by the Arizona Supreme Court in previous cases. The Arizona Supreme Court has interpreted "actual physical control" broadly, as seen in State v. Lovejoy and State v. Zaragoza, where the court held that individuals found sleeping in a vehicle with the keys in the ignition were in actual physical control of the vehicle, even though the engine was not running. Based on these cases, it appears that Drunka's likelihood of conviction for a DUI is high, as she was found drunk in the back seat of her car with the keys in the ignition, suggesting that she had the present capability to operate the vehicle. It is worth noting that there are some exceptions to the "actual physical control" requirement, as seen in State v. Fierro, where the court held that a person who was sleeping in a parked car with the engine off and the keys not in the ignition was not in actual physical control of the vehicle. However, this exception is unlikely to apply to Drunka's case as her keys were in the ignition. In conclusion, Drunka's likelihood of conviction for a DUI appears to be high based on the facts provided and relevant Arizona statutes and cases. |
