Back in 1972 I met a guy (American) in Denmark who said he'd just
gotten out of jail--a 6 month sentence--for simply having been
inside a car, *parked*, *not even in the driver's seat*, after
stumbling out of a bar quite obviously intoxicated.  He'd been
looking for something in the glove compartment, and had been
unlucky enough to attract the attention of a passing cop.  He
said it had been a borderline case, but as he had had to unlock the
car, he had the keys on him.  And that was enough.
