FOLLOW UP TO BOB BEAMAN'S ANSWER TO MY QUESTION WHICH IS ASKED
AGAIN HERE

Hello Mr. Beaman,

I desperately need your help as a CarGuru not as an attorney -- that's my job.  In our
jurisdiction the car must be in motion or the motor must be running  for someone in the
driver's seat to be an operator.  My client parked her car in a store parking lot and rode
with her boyfriend to an out-of-town party.  They had a fuss so the boyfriend dropped
her off at her car after the party rather than taking her all the way home.  My client did
the right thing.  She called a sober person to come drive her car home and listened to
the radio while waiting.  According to the officer's report, he "noticed" her parked car
because the parked car was completely dark with no visible lights and a black woman
was seated behind the wheel in the parking lot at night.  The officer came up, smelled
alcohol, told her to turn off the car and take the key out of the ignition, and arrested her.  
The sober friend arrived while the officer was arresting her.  The sober friend will testify
that the lights functioned normally on the drive from the WalMart parking lot to the
magistrate's office.  

Can you determine as a CarGuru whether or not the car was idling based upon the
officer's statement that the car was completely dark with no visible lights?   If so, how
can I get written information which lays out the operation of the lights for the 2009
Mitsubishi Galant?  My client is a member of the working poor and cannot afford an out-
of-town expert, but I can get a local mechanic to testify based upon reliable written
information of the kind normally relied upon by mechanics.  The car itself is no longer
available.  I have the VIN which was noted on the report.

Help!
