Police to perform warrantless beverage inspections on ‘anybody’ visiting Florida beaches

[Anti Federalist]

Is it too late? Will the frogs feel the boiling water, or just succumb?

I think they're dead already...just waiting to be consumed.

Everything that's not white, blue or green is people. That should be fun.

If they expect the charges to stick they will need to show probable cause like visibly intoxicated or they smell alcohol. Otherwise just about any decent lawyer would get the summons thrown out.

Think of all the children this'll save.......

Are they fucking retarded. Hey, you know what, my home town Panama City does need more money and our laws are just no glass bottles on the beach. Drink all the canned beer you want.

 

[oldietech]

what is the point of this? It is not illegal to have an adult beverage on the beach. Seems obvious to me that this is targeted at under 21 people. They are trying to bust 18-20 year old for underage drinking. Pathetic.

The way to counter waste of technology like this is with low tech placards explaining this intrusion and how to resist by enforcing rights.

Beverage police. How embarrassing.

Pretty easy to "smell alcohol".

Pretty easy to "smell alcohol".

Yeah, but you have to be pretty close to someone.

What makes you think they care about that?

Cuff 'em, stuff 'em and throw enough charges that something sticks.

Just an arrest is enough to mark up your dang'an in the Matrix and fuck you up for the rest of your life.

"You may beat the rap, but you won't beat the ride!" -- Officer Friendly

Getting a "decent lawyer" to get the summons dismissed will cost far more than what the fine would have been -- so most people will pay up.

 

[SeanTX]

Yeah, but you have to be pretty close to someone.

I think he's implying that the police can (and will) just make that up -- like they can use "I smelled marijuana" during a traffic stop to justify doing anything they want (the Texas DPS uses that to excuse committing roadside rapes).

 

[PaulConventionWV]

Yeah, but you have to be pretty close to someone.

Last time I checked, police officers have no problem getting up in a mundane's face.

Give me a chance says new HB top cop

Citizens expressed outrage over Mayor Carmel Monti’s March 28 announcement he was recommending the city hire Longboat Key Police Capt. Bill Tokajer over Holmes Beach Police Department’s 26-year veteran Dale Stephenson.
....
“All I ask is for the community to give me a chance to prove myself to them,” he said. “They will not be disappointed. They will see I am here for the betterment of this community and to ensure this is the safest town in the county.”

Well, I guess he proved himself. LOL.
