[QUOTE="Dale Carlson, post: 601830, member: 56095"] Joe W.'s well-researched post (above) points out that the state's burden of proof is that the person has to be a danger to himself or others, not just drunk. I've fought traffic tickets before and won. If I got a public intoxication ticket while I was in a bar, I'd probably fight that, too. Why? Because I KNOW that I'm going to walk home (if it's the neighborhood place), take a cab, ride with a DD, or even stay at the bar drinking Diet Coke until I'm sober. How the hell do the cops know what I'm going to do while I'm still in that bar? [/QUOTE]
