Perhaps now that the Indiana Supremes have themselves opined, in the same decision, that the legislature ought to clarify its intent in its ban on public drunkenness, the effort to get that law narrowed will succeed. The legislature can’t pass the buck now. It’s insane not to permit people who became intoxicated away from home in a private place to be given a ride back home or some other private place.
I agree. I would also state that people have a right to go get sloshed at a public establishment too, if they desire to. As long as they don’t cause problems for the establishment or other patrons, it’s nobody’s damned business but their own.
It is absolutely dumfounding to think you can get arrested for being drunk in the back seat of a car, no other contributing factors.
Wonder how many EXECUTIVE LIMOS and PLEASURE LIMOS the police will be pulling over?
