moral turpitude?

Question

what crimes are moral turpitude? Would driving under the influence be regarded as this

Answer 1

Moral turpitude is “conduct that is inherently based, vile, or depraved, and contrary to the accepted rules of morality and the duties between persons or to society in general” (Jordan v. De George, 341 U.S. 223, 229, 71 S. Ct. 703, reh’g denied, 341 U.S. 956, 71 S. Ct. 1011 (1951).

I doubt a DUI would be of this category.
