But keep the door closed so neighbors don't hear your music. Ein Prosit

Haha now I'm speechless and rolling on the floor with laughter

I don't see the problem being on private property BUT what do the visitors do after this little gathering?? Do they sleep in the car to sober up before leaving? This is a little strange. Sounds like you need to invest on upgrading your patio.

Seriously???

Its ok as long as i am invited and Leonard skinner is playing volume 11. Can i honk the horn as the cowbell? I call shotgun.

but seriously key in ignition might be cause for some Barney to attempt a citizens arrest, unless benz is jacked up on blocks in the front yard like we do in sweet home Alabama

On my driveway (not in the garage) can I sit in my Mercedes with a couple friends, at night, listening to music, chatting and drinking. No key because Benz.

I ask is because With a lot of people over, sometimes, you want o go into the car, chat, have AC, and listen to music.

I have seen that people get arrested drunk and car on.

We would be playing music, having a great time. Car would never be in gear and never move. Just need the engine to get the AC running full on.

I don't know the laws. The neighbors would not mind and never hear anything.

Ask your Parents....

VILLAGETINKER, even if this person did do exactly what he said & had no keys to listen to the radio. Don't you think this very strange? I don't think this person could get arrested just for sitting in his car drinking with his friends, unless if a police officer did think he & his friends just got back from drinking somewhere. I'm sitting thinking is this a joke article.

Can't believe the question! I'm not a lawyer, and I don't play one on television, but you would be on private property and could tell the police they need a warrant.

If you have key in ignition, you ABSOLUTELY can be arrested if consuming alcohol. Why not be like adults and go inside? Sit in Mercedes? What age are you? Sounds like 14.
What village?

Looks like torv is scraping the bottom for content

Bet if cops were called it would be a DUI

Open container laws can vary from state to state, and in Florida, from county to county. However, the rules are pretty specific - with the exception of a motor home, alcohol may not be consumed in a motor vehicle, no matter where it is parked. Having the motor running is even worse, as this amounts to having physical control of a motor vehicle while consuming alcohol, which could result in arrest, and points on the operators license if convicted. Here's the Florida statute on the subject: Statute 316.1936

Funnier than the original post is how many took the bait.
