[QUOTE="Gerald Pierce, post: 601869, member: 54639"] I skipped a bunch of this thread but... Rich said: I would venture to say that it wont fly because wouldn't they have to prove you were drunk? When you get a drivers license, most states make you sign that you consent to alcohol tests.... if you are not driving, can they make you take a blood alcohol test? If not, then you may not be drunk.... maybe you are just very tired, or very happy, or very angry, or..... They are probably hoping most wont fight this and just pay the fine.... it generates money for the city/state/etc. I think a better option would be to observe the folks OUTSIDE the bar, getting into a vehicle and then check them. I am against DUI as much as the next guy, but I think this is a stupid way to do business. You would think that if no one complains about the drunk in a bar, they should be left alone... until the leave and try to operate a motor vehicle. I used to live in base housing (govt property). If I got drunk in my own house, could they come and arrest me? It's not private property..... :o [/QUOTE]
