Way to jump to conclusions. Just because they aren't enforced in your area doesn't mean they aren't enforced anywhere. Every single person over 16 here knows an open container will probably land them with a $800 fine or an overnight stay in jail.The laws are in place. Has it stopped them?
That's what I thought. Just like gun control, it ain't going to stop anyone who doesn't otherwise give a shit. All it does is fuck those of us who would be a bit more responsible.
It works,full stop. We also have strict anti-panhandling laws. Ever since they cracked down on enforcement people actually go downtown.
