Drinking in Public?

Well I was BBQin outside of my apartment with my roomate on the 4th of july with a friend of mine. I live in a big apartment complex next to a pool with grass in our back yard. Is there any law that says we cannot drink there? (in CA) The 16 year old looking security guard told us that we couldn't drink because it was public property. Sure looked like private property to me, seeing as i pay to live there. The friend i was with is also a cadet in the police academy so she knows her stuff. She thought he was retarded. He gave some excuse that it wasnt "quite private". All of our neighbors were drinking as well and they just told him to shove off. Just wondering if a real cop could get us in trouble. (we were all 21)
 
This is not the California state law office or website! Search for yourself! You could easily have found the answer faster than it took you to write up this post. Seriously.

Many states and locales have public intoxication statues on the books. I'm unsure what it is in California, but it's perfectly possible that your specific locale could have a law about not drinking alcoholic beverages in full view of the public.

EDIT: Oh yeah, the guy was an asshat. It's the 4th and nothing says America like drinking beer. I'm surprised you didn't kill him.
 
well make sure it is private property that the building actually owns it

<---was charged with $180 fine for having a beer on public land outside dodger stadium (not in the designated parking lot)

or just always drink with the girl in the police academy...doubt the cops would care then

Which has no bearing what so ever on private property and if it did then they oversteped their authority and a court, non local, would tell them to shove their retarded law right where the sun don't shine.

Even local statues can be illegal if deemed so by a court. If you fail locally you can appeal and likely state court would crush them.

This kind of retarded power hungry BS happens all the time.

Your other option, if anyone here gets charged for something on private property, is to let them charge you and take it to a jury trial (likely county or state court) and make sure they understand what "Jury Nulification" is.

As soon as you mention that, make sure you blurt out in 10 seconds flat wtf it is because the Judge is gona put a gag order over you and order the jury to disregard your statement (too late sucker) right after his heart attack is over and he stops choaking on his dentures.

Trust me.

Civil rights are so unknown to the average person. Educate them.

Remember.... Jury Nulification. Learn it, memorize it, recite it, love it. It's the only true power you have against injustice as a citizen.

Jury Nulification first appeared in the UK and spread to Canada and the US so anyone living in these nations can use it. Not sure about others.

Yea i plan to, the guard got all scared when she asked him what code said we couldn't drink there, lol. Good to know someone on the inside. Everyone calls him Shem since he sounds like little girl and looks like a little boy, its pretty funny.
 
If you are living in an apartment complex, it could be possible that there is a code of conduct around the complex that you cannot drink outside like you did. The guard may have been hired by the owner and if there is a written rule, you could face some consequences. Just FYI.

If you find this forum so annoying (and you clearly do), why bother posting at all?
