I still question whether this even happened... ... Heard it from a friend, who heard it from a friend, who heard it from another...
Me thinks not! |

I believe it happened but there may be exenuating circimstances that the observer/explainer was not aware. My interest in this thread is to discover what truly happened. It is one thing to issue a ticket to people who are DUI and quite another to do so for someone whose only act was having an open container. Question: How many people leave the town squares drunk? How many residents even drink an alcoholic beverage, other than a glass of wine at dinner?

Believe me, they were given a ticket for "open container." Or, maybe they were drunk and got a ticket for being drunk in public. |

k just enjoying lifeQUOTE=Talk Host;361696]Yep! That's the violation, sitting or driving, open container is open container. Using your logic then, if a cop stops a guy on the highway and he's got an open whiskey bottle in his lap, his argument could be, "hey Mr. Policeman, I'm stopped on the side of the road, I'm not moving, you can't give me a ticket."
But then, If I said the sky was blue, you would disagree with me.[/QUOTE] you are tainted because youre a former leo...what russ is saying is he 'we' enjoy sitting at the square with a drink... not drunk just enjoying life. i know there is no way im going to get through to you because you have that authoritative mindset! life is good so we enjoy it doing no harm to anyone but maybe our livers. |

I personally appreciate the "authoritative mindset" of the men and women who keep me safe. But that's just me, I guess. |

The question is do YOU think it is a proper use of patrolman's time to issue these citations at the Villages squares? Is this really the type of law enforcement that has any desired effect? What does it do? Next time people will just get out of their cart and drink the same amount. FYI My sky is gray today |

Apparently it is possible for a sober resident who was sitting in his cart to be issued a ticket. On the other hand there could be aperson who sat all night at katie Bells and is now smashed driving home in a cart, auto or on a bike with no violations....What a country! |

Interesting how some folks like to demonize current and past law enforcement officers. Makes you wonder why they are so defensive against the police.
