All I can tell you is from past experience. If you want to believe fine, if you do not want to believe fine. These police understand the square climate,if you are not causing a problem they will ignore you. Remember they like having a beer also.


I sincerely hope this is not true. If a police officer observes a law being broken it is his/her duty to take appropriate action. Ignoring it is not appropriate.

The open container law was passed to address a very serious problem. I would hope it is enforced.
