[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 601834, member: 52972"] TJR, Well siad. In my previous post, I was trying to state that the controvery is whether the police have to prove that the drunk in a danger to themselves or others. kefguy, The law does not require the police to prove that you might do something that may endanger yourself or others, it's a matter that you are drunk in public and that is an arrestable offense. Even if you plan to sleep it off at the bar, makes no difference. You are drunk in public. To get drunk enough to stagger and have slurred speach requires a lot more alcohol than the typical .08 Blood Alcohol level used for DUI charges. For anyone to assume that a staggering drunk is NOT a danger to themselves or others, is out of touch with reality, and is either a drunk in denial, or has never had alcohol and has not experienced its effects. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
