Don’t bet on it. Just for starters, I wonder how outdoor patio’s at restaurants are going to fare??? Will there be a license??

“… I doubt that they would ever ticket a person for drinking in their kitchen with the curtains open…”

Sillier things than that have happened. Yet, there is the beginning of a sea change which recognizes individual and property rights.

If I hold a barbeque in my back yard complete with beer, am I breaking the law??

This guy had the BALLS to drink a beer on his stoop! How do we know he wasn’t using the Blackberry and the beer to plot terror. It’s better safe than sorry right?

The police aren’t here to “serve and protect” anymore. It’s like the phrase on Barricade from the “Transformers” movie. “To punish and enslave”.

What will it take for us to have our “V for Vendetta” moment?

California (uhhh) has a written law against drinking in public view. If the public can see you drink, then you can get a ticket. I doubt that they would ever ticket a person for drinking in their kitchen with the curtains open, but this law was designed for the front-stoop crowd.

NY isn’t too far behind CA in terms of restricting private citizens’ rights. Mr. VanRy will need a good lawyer to overturn this one.

Government, please save our eyes! For we have seen sin and don’t know what to do… /sarcasm
