"The officer has to prove to the court that there was an open container. Innocent until proven guilty still reigns."
If I'm innocent until proven guilty, why is it that police can set up roadblocks and search every vehicle that drives on that road without warrants or cause? If I'm presumed innocent, I don't get stopped. If I'm presumed guilty, I get stopped.
Roadblock - I get stopped, along with everyone else (who must also be guilty).

Since when are roadblocks considered a guilty sentence?
