Maybe they should be called "Cafeteria Cops". They choose which laws they want to enforce. If they are beer drinkers they do not enforce laws relative to beer drinking. If they are ardent prohibitionists they enforce only laws pertaining to booze.

Those of you who think enforcing the open container law is wrong just keep right on drinking beer while sitting in your golf cart. When you eventually get a ticket simply take it to Bunnell and explain your position to the judge. If you are ever hit by a cart driver who got sloshed while sitting in his golf cart at the square I am sure you will understand why the police chose to ignore him.
