r6allstar Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 pisses me off to no end.. I am coming home last night at about 2 am from the bars downtown, cruising down Bethel Rd and I get pulled over for 56 in a 40....understandable, I was breaking the law so I deserved it but this is not why I am pissed. I get pulled over that late, have a case of beer in my back seat, box open..and he doesnt even ask if I had been drinking (I had NOT been by the way, was DD). Just pisses me off that there are a shit ton of drunk drivers out on the road that night and they are more worried about the sober speeders. AND this is the kicker, I pull over into a parking lot where there is a bar. While I am sitting there getting my ticket you have a ton of people coming out to their cars from the bar and driving home..and I am the one getting the ticket instead of those assholes.. bullshit *rant over* carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XB12Ss Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 Drunks speed a lot of the time... and you had an open container (an open case or a 6 pack missing a beer is considered open container in Ohio)... What are you complaining about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted September 22, 2007 Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 an open case or a 6 pack missing a beer is considered open container in OhioNo its not. In fact, if you want to get away with the open container you can use a bottle that closes (push top water bottles, something with a screw on top, etc). As long as you're not above the legal limit, there is no way for them to prove it was open in the car. Hell, a bottle of wine with the cork put back in isn't considered an open container. In Ohio , these laws make it illegal to have or drink from an open container of alcohol in designated areas such as sidewalks, streets, lawns, etc. This law most commonly applies to having alcohol in parked or moving vehicles. Violation of these laws in Ohio could mean up to 6 months jail time and/or $1000.00 fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as you're not above the legal limit, there is no way for them to prove it was open in the car. Hell, a bottle of wine with the cork put back in isn't considered an open container.Section 154 of 23 U.S.C.:In 1998, as part of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21).Restoration Act, a new Federal program was established to encourage States to adopt laws that prohibit the possession and consumption of alcoholic beverages in the passenger areas of a motor vehicle (23 USC 154).Commonly referred to as "open container laws," if a State does not achieve compliance with the Federal program requirements, a portion of that State"s federal-aid highway construction funds will be redirected to the State"s Section 402 appropriation. Transferred funds may be used only for alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures, enforcement of drunk driving laws or the State"s hazard elimination program under Section 152.To comply with the Federal program under Section 154, a State"s open container law must:Prohibit both possession of any open alcoholic beverage container and consumption of any alcoholic beverageCover the passenger area of any motor vehicle, including unlocked glove compartments and any other areas of the vehicle that are readily accessible to the driver or passengers while in their seatsApply to all open alcoholic beverage containers and all alcoholic beverages, including beer, wine, and spirits that contain one-half of one percent or more of alcohol by volume (including 3.2 percent beer)Apply to all vehicle occupants except for passengers of vehicles designed, maintained or used primarily for the transportation of people for compensation (such as buses, taxi cabs, and limousines) or the living quarters of motor homesApply to all vehicles on a public highway or the right-of-way (i.e. on the shoulder) of a public highwayRequire primary enforcement of the law, rather than requiring probable cause that another violation had been committed before allowing enforcement of the open container law.Currently, 36 States and the District of Columbia comply with the terms of this law. These States are: Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oregon, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin. It's the Fed program that Ohio is in compliance with... A buddy of mine in college got pulled over for speeding and got nailed with open container despite not having drank a drop... He had four loose beers in the floor of his truck from the prior weekend... Of course he was an idiot and acted like a total ass to the cop...

r6allstar Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Nice little tid-bit of info, didnt know that but still..deal with the peple who are out there killing people daily driving smashed instead of DRUNK HUNTING. And I dont think he was drunk hunting, he didnt even look in my car for alcohol nor did he ask me if I had been drinking etc.. should have been a warning so that he could be on his merry way to fuck with people driving drunk, which in my eyes is the more serious of the two crimes. especially when they are walking out of a bar 50ft away and getting into a car to drive. drunk hunt those assholesIt's the Fed program that Ohio is in compliance with...

You figure its near bar closing time so their chances are good. Plus the "no turn signal" sometimes can mean a stolen car since the columns get peeled during theft.They have been cruising my complex alot lately thank God... couple people been broke into and a few robbed late at night( 1:30-3:00am). They believe its some young punks living nearby in another complex with someone who lives in my complex acting as watch-out. I stay armed when i am out that late at night when leaving my gf's house who lives nearby. Sorry to hear they harassed you though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further, giving the warning takes just as long as writing the ticket... The fact that he didn't ask you if you've been drinking indicates he could tell you hadn't been...Every time I see posts/threads like this I always think the same thing:Should you get away with a crime because there are people committing worse crimes out there? I'm totally going to steal your bike and when I get caught my defense is going to be that there are people out there killing people... Does that make sense?

F4iBunny Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I often get off work at 2 or 3am and if I stay on Polaris to Westerville Road there's almost always a cop sitting at on of the intersections as if they are sitting at the light (on Polaris), often they appear to be going the opposite way. When I pass, they will u-turn in the intersection and follow me! Sometimes I go that way just for fun, to give them something to do. I don't ride my bike to work that often but the couple times I have, I haven't seen the "hunters" on my way home. They would definitely follow me then, I'm sure!

fusion Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 You guys bitching about this "drunk hunting" are rediculous. Seriously. Despite what you may think, must drunks aren't easily identifiable while driving. They AREN'T swerving all over the road making it obvious most of the time. Cops use other stops around bar hours in an attempt to catch drunks.And 16 over in an area with bars around closing time? You were begging to be pulled over. You deserved the ticket just for being a dipshit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when dude said we were "whining" about "drunk hunting" and we were "rediculous", he was making that statement towards me, and I was pulled over for CRAP and I feel that statement is rediculous, OK??? I mean seriously...fuck it, instead of the "police stops" just everyonce in a while, why not set up check points every friday and sat night...i say right in front of your neigborhood so YOU GET HASSLED!!! as for the manpower...well stop the cruiser sitting in the parking lots at 8:00 am and put them on drunk hunting dutyI dont think that JUST because you are out at 2:00 in tha AM you should be DISCRIMINATED against!!!! You think that cop would have stopped ME if it was 5:00 pm??? hell no he wouldnt have!!!! I know...if i didnt do anything wrong he wouldnt stop you...ok, but we all know they will find somthing even IF you do nothing wrong.doesnt it seem a bit funny that a cop would even call it "drunk hunting" ??
