On top of that it also helps the Cop's nab drunken drivers as sometimes the only thing that gives them away is their carelessness in handling an OC in the car which a Cop will spot giving them probable cause to pull them over and check for impaired driving.

I know if I were Amused and I was cruising down the road on my new Put the last thing I would want is to come across some Teenage/Early Twenties Fscktard sucking down a 40 of Old English while driving his Ricer/SUV/'Bling Bling Beemer.

Again, you are assuming that a person not inclined to drive drunk and break the law would suddenly be so inclined because he can have an open container in the car.

The person already actively avoids driving while impaired, but suddenly will abandon that because they can have an OC is the car?

That really makes no sense, no matter how many "what ifs" a person can pull out of their ass.

And of course I don't want drunk drivers on the road. I simply do not believe that OC laws significantly decrease the number of people who drive while impaired.

Yeah it makes sense. He/She starts drinking as soon as they can legally which now means they start when they walk in the door. Now if they could drink in their car legally it's only common sense to assume they'd start as soon as they left the store with their beer in hand which means in the car.

You aren't that dense, you just won't admit that your argument is extremely flawed. In all these years I've known you here at AT I've never seen you admit you were wrong and I don't expect you to start now You'd make an extremely aggravating friend in real life!

I have nothing to admit, because I do not believe I am wrong.

That person already does not drive drunk because they know its wrong. If they want to start as soon as possible, why not belly up to the closest bar, then drive home wasted? (since we're pulling "what ifs" out of our asses)

They buy the beer and take it home because they don't want to drive drunk. They wait until they get home to get drunk because they know better.

There, if you can pull scenarios out of your ass, so can I.

My argument stands. Passing additional laws in an effort to prevent the breaking of existing laws does nothing but punish innocent people, and create more crimes.

Oh yeah, because one beer makes a person sooooo drunk, right?

:roll:

In the fight against drunk driving, we have lost all reason.

In California atleast, it's enough fines and insurance hikes to make your life suck ass.

I didn't say it wasn't against the law. I mearly pointed out how reactionary, rather than reasonable it is to condemn someone for having A beer in a car.

You lose someone to a drunk driver and then you tell me how YOU feel about ANY alcohol and driving. /thread

I feel for your loss. However, that does not excuse overreactions that cost innocent people their freedoms.

In no way will one beer make an average sized person too drunk to drive. In fact, one beer wont even put the vast majority any where near the laughingly low "legal limit."

Ask yourself what the BAC was of this person who took your loved one. Then ask yourself why you over react and point fingers even at ridiculously low BAC numbers?

Ok, so change the laws to say 1-2 beers is ok for men who weigh 125-140 lbs, 3-4 for 140lb, etc etc..you see where this becomes an issue? Who is to say what is the allowable amount then for every driver?

You cannot justify drinking and driving, period.

I only read the first page so I don't know if this has been responded to or not.

You fvcking idiot, such a law DOES exist. Its called BAC. A small person has a higher BAC from less beer.



All in all, the OP is stupid for drinking with an open container because its easy to get caught. However, Without a doubt, one beer ain't gonna make him higher than a .02% AFTER it hits him, anyone can drive with a .02(even under 21), AND that beer will take 15-20 minutes to hit his system anyway!

Get off your high horses idiots.

WHen do you ever?

Because it costs more at the bar and they are surely going to catch a drunk at the bar and then have to drive home totally inebriated.

They buy the beer and take it home because they don't want to drive drunk. They wait until they get home to get drunk because they know better.

So you really think that if these Nightly Home Drunks could start drinking on the way home they wouldn't?

There, if you can pull scenarios out of your ass, so can I.

The difference is buddy is that your scenario is extremely naive.

My argument stands.

Like a drunk on his second 6 pack

No it doesn't, at least in this case.

Amused this is your fvcking dumbest post of all time...
yes 1 beer depending on the person can impare you...

not to mention he was literally drinking WHILE driving... which is very illegal in any state.

and yes its still just as freaking illegal..

Read the entire thread, first.

And one beer is no more going to impair a person than OTC cold meds, or simply having a cold or flu. Less, in fact.

and you think you cannot get a DUI from those OTC meds... thats illegal too it states clearly on those medications do not drive or operate heavy machinery..
in Texas you can go to jail for being intoxicated by medications and beign pulled over.

Personally when I see someone chugging a beer while driving I call the cops and follow the car around to make sure that the cops find them, count yourself lucky I don't live where ever you do

Bullsh!t. A person can imbibe within reason and still operate a motor vehicle. All you are doing is catering to the lowest common denominator and treating people like children.

It simply amazes me how quickly people fall for knee-jerk activism instead of common sense and reason.

But that's the foundation of so much of our legal system! (LCD treatment)

Seriously, a sh!tload of laws make no sense. I know 14yr olds that are more mature that 22 yr olds. So then why is much "responsibility" given to us at the age of 18? Some people are ready to drive when they're 14. Some aren't ready to drive until they're 25.

Drinking. 21 years of age...why? Seems arbitrary to me. I've been drinking since I was 8...only "socially" though...I have no interest in getting drunk.

Anyhow this is just the point. Our system is composed of knee-jerk reactions & over-simplifications. The government doesn't have the time or luxury to treat every case individually. As it is, there's already too much BS nitpicking in the legal system.

Do you also call the cops when someones tailgating, illegally changing lanes, speeding, driving too slow for conditions, or commit any other of the myriad of traffic offenses?

And I will call the same cops and tell 'em somebody's following me home w/ intend of breaking and entering, which is a federal crime, drinking beer and DUI is not. You'll be arrested and send to BMITA prison.

nope, drinking and driving is a heck of a lot worse, someone zooms past me at 160mph and I would though, witness a hit a run and I would, it all depends on the severity

Untrue and ignorant.

Someone tailgating or illegally changing lanes or running a red light is much more of a danger than someone doing what, say, the OP did.

And how would you prove that intent to break and enter ? I can follow whoever I wish as long as they stay on public roads, unless they have a restraining order, of course I can't legally follow them onto private land. The local sheriff is a great guy, I'm nothing but appriciative of his work, but they also appriciate the concerned citizens that help them out

this thread is stupid. what's so great about cold, greasy, gross grocery store fried chicken and crappy american beer?

It's something that can't be explained...has nothing to do with how good the chicken or beer is. It's much of the same feeling you get at a Cub's game while eating a real hot dog and drinking Old Style....you just have to do it to get it.

Don't worry, he's just one of those self-righteous tards who gets off on his distorted sense of justice.

I can think of a lot worse things people do related to driving then simply drinking a beer and eating some chicken.

Talking on the phone while driving is just as bad.

Ok, here's a new situation for you.

Suppose they find no open container. Either the driver ditched it, what you thought was beer really wasn't, or the cops just couldn't see it(they can't search your car just because some asshole called and claimed to see a beer).

Suppose its a real d!ckhole cop who takes him into the station. Lets say he's had .5-1 beers. His BAC registers at .01. He drives home completely unpunished, as he wasn't driving drunk, you're an asshole who just wasted alot of his and the cops time.

Good work!!! wbresson for police chief!
