Sorry bogieboy. Just a thought remember some of these young police where young college students drinking beer and partying on college game days just a few years ago.

Sorry Paulboy & Jeangirl, your assumptions are wrong. Also I don't understand what the last sentence has to do with the law.
The following from the January POA Bulletin-
7) I have heard recently that someone received
a $116.00 ticket for having an opencontainer of beer while sitting in his golf cart
in the square. What are the rules regarding
open containers containing alcohol in the
downtown square areas and while just sitting
in a golf cart? A: It is against the law to
have an open container of alcohol in any
motor vehicle, whether it is parked or stationary
if it is situated on a road which is
defined by the Florida Statutes as, “…a way
open to travel, including, but not limited to,
a street, highway or alley. The term includes
associated sidewalks, the roadbed, the rightof-
way, and all culverts…” You can also get
an open container citation if you are operating
a golf cart (moving vehicle anywhere in
Florida) on the cart path. This applies to
both cart drivers and passengers.
