Please do not misinterpret this post as someone advocating drinking and driving a golf cart. The thread raises a curiosity for me and others may know the answers.
IF the police officers were indeed looking for open containers of alcohol, I am curious about two things.
  1. Do police officers have the right to look in every cart without cause? To what extent? If I have a can in a koozie, can they ask to see what the can is?
  2. Does the open container law even extend to a NON registered vehicle such as a golf cart? How about a bicycle? Of course DUI is against the law on a bike or a golf cart but I wonder about an open container?
