Default Open container law

The law states 316.1936 states in a vehicle.If the container is open it must be locked up in a trunk or locked glove box.Also goes on to state that it is unlawful and punishable as provided for any person to posses an alcoholic beverage while seated in or on a motor vehicle. By definition a motor vehicle is any vehicle with wheels and a motor that doesn't run on rails. I don't agree but I didn't right it. Also in reading on line local law can make it stricter and the penalty is fine, jail time or both. Can also cost 3 points on your liscense
