Okay, so the state is going after those that are considered to be P.I. at the source, their local neighborhood bar. Where do the cops go to next to "catch" those that are considered to be "P.I.", btw, being P.I. is a very loosely defined subjective state in the mind of the individual arresting officer at the least as drunkenness isn't required to be proven to be considered "P.I." in Texas, only an appearance to be, do they start turning out for weddings, sporting events, concerts or maybe the backyard Bar-B-Que and most any other large gatherings where alcohol is likely to be sold, served and/or consumed? Where does the inept madness stop once the Gestapo styled police start down this very slippery big-brotherism slope?!

Just wait until the Texas Tourisim Board, the Texas Chamber of Commerce and the Texas Task Force for Economic Development start getting phone calls about cancelled conventions coming to Texas. This BS will go out in a heart beat.

It is not about safety, it is economic dollars. TABC are out "picking up empty cans along the side of the road for pennies" compared what the big boys want.

What ever bureaucrat that came up with this idea will be head in line for the head of the PUCT next week. PUCT head job, looking for Fly poop in pepper that is going to be spread on a cow patty. The guy may be over qualified.

Personally, I have high hopes the TABC will be working undercover at the next texas govs campaign headquarters (both parties.)
