Back in the day a couple close friends got into trouble at Hampton Beach for open containers of alcohol (beer cans). The cop looked at their licenses and told the other cop they were from North Hampton and the other cop said to let them go with a warning. The first cop said, they are from Northampton, MA, not New Hampshire, so they threw them in jail. It goes to show that it was all about raising revenue from outsiders. I had to empty my bank account and drive to New Hampshire to bail my buddies out. So much for New Hampshires state motto, “Live free or Die”.
