An empty beer can on the passenger seat floor is not enough to arrest someone and charge them, regardless of age. For the driver to be charged there needs to be additional evidence that the driver had been drinking or is impaired, or that there’s still enough quantity of beer in the container to be charged with an open container violation and/or possession of alcohol by a minor. You could fill your car with empty beer cans and drive to the redemption center and you can’t be pulled over for it or be arrested, unless there’s an underlying infraction like obstruction of the review or you fail to signal, etc.
Do we still have a constitution?
Most states (maybe all?) prohibit an open container while a car is being operated, and I don’t think the amount of alcohol matters. An open container is an open container.So an empty beer can in the passenger seat is illegal. Do they define an open container as having a certain amount left? I’ve never heard that. If that is true, then there’s really nothing wrong with passengers drinking while you’re driving. As long as they chug it when you get pulled over.

In Montana it use to be the driver. A passenger could drink in a car while it was operating.
im not that old. We didn’t have a speed limit either starting the same year I got a full unrestricted drivers license (15 years old 1 month) which was before I set foot in a high school class 😂
it was the Wild West
I knew a kid with a farm permit who drove to 6th grade.
It's just crazy to me that I can drive a few hours to IL or MI and buy marijuana legally. In OH I could get it with a medical card (maybe not as a non-res but definitely residents can) yet IN will bust your ass for dust.
Was the fact she was a minor and had possession of it while driving? I would think so. Seems like the equivalent of having an empty beer can in the passenger seat floor if you’re 17. They’ll bust you hard for that. Not saying your daughter deserves it, just thinking they came down harder for those reasons.
If it’s illegal across all ages I don’t think you could get away with a punishment more severe based being younger, or older. Certainly you could argue that though
if you are charging a juvenile in juvenile court the sentence should be less or not applicable to an adult since it’s not necessarily a crime for an adult
Alcohol offences or presumably drugs may be more severe for a juvenile in a case of it leading to a revoked drivers licence. However some states don’t offer a full license to young drivers and it’s more of a provisional one so it’s way easier to take away
I’ve always believed penalties for drunk driving are often more severe for minors. Don’t know where I got that, just always thought that to be true. Maybe it isn’t.
Not if there’s no visible or discernible evidence the driver or passengers were drinking. Alcohol on the breath, bloodshot or dilated eyes, slurred speech, etc. empty beer cans are just that, empty beer cans. Not evidence of a crime being or having been committed.
I was just looking it up. There are more states than I thought that allow passengers to drink. I had no idea. But in California, where i grew up and lived until I was 30, even an empty beer can counts. I just thought that was the law everywhere. Going to have to start using my fake carpool dummy as my beer holder now too.
The leap to impaired driver in Gern’s daughter’s case is huge. I could see if it was residue in a bowl or chillum or something. Or even a vape with visible distillate left in it. Or even an open package of edibles.
But we’re talking about dust in a grinder here, and there’s no way to get impaired from that—at least not that I’m aware of.

You ain’t never snorted the dust? Living large I’d say.

Na, that would be the bust out dope fiend pushing daisies…. I know it goes against the narrative around these parts, but if you can handle the truth check this DOC out…

AlphaNews doesn’t sound like something that someone who signs off with Mahalo would watch or subscribe to. A lot of good that surf, sun and wind in your hair has done for you.
Maybe Minneapolis can call Seattle and figure out how to cope? It’s hard falling down and going boom. Someone start a thread.

The Surf, Sun, and Wind of Hawaii does wonders that’s 4 sho, can’t wait to get back there in Nov. Perhaps you should find purpose away from your computer and go there someday. Trust me, participating in life is much better for your mental and physical health. Mahalo

Will that be before, during or after Minneapolis’s continued, hard fall?
