I was on third street last night. Police were going around telling bouncers starting today they are not going to allow open containers on the sidewalks/street. I overheard and said to the officer, "that's not right, the city ordinance has an exception for 3rd Street and the downtown development district."
(I know, I'm a genius for trying to argue the law with a cop)
The cop told me I was wrong and they have just been letting people do it, but they are going to start enforcing it.
When the cop walked away I told the bouncer the cop was full of shite. He was.
Proof:
Sec. 13:1018. - Public drinking prohibited.

You should have bowed up to that stupid cop.

Do you know what happened specifically? A friend of mine was there with a cooler and he didn't mention anything.

Regardless if you think he is wrong, you do it, you're doing to get a ticket.

He may "get" one but he won't pay a fine.

Do people still go downtown? Seems like you don't hear about it as much these days compared to a couple years ago.

Maybe not, but it will still inconvenience him.

Would you like a shot of taser with your Margarita?

Read your proof...no where does it allow you to walk the streets with a beer. This allows you to sit out side of a business and drink when it is a restaurant not a class a bar.

Live After 5 used to have special rules that allowed open container. Probably still the case, but hell, I haven't been to one of those in five or six years.

I keep hoping I get stopped one day for turning left on red from a one way street onto another one way street.

Went to Live After 5 about a month ago and it was packed. Brought my own beer and walked around without issue.

Do you have a dog? If so, it's probably already been shot for you unchecked whitey aggression.
