Texas arresting people in bars for being drunk
Texas arresting people in bars for being drunk
SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said on Wednesday.
The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public intoxication, said the commission's Carolyn Beck.
Being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkenness, Beck said.
The goal, she said, was to detain drunks before they leave a bar and go do something dangerous like drive a car.
"We feel that the only way we're going to get at the drunk driving problem and the problem of people hurting each other while drunk is by crackdowns like this," she said.
"There are a lot of dangerous and stupid things people do when they're intoxicated, other than get behind the wheel of a car," Beck said. "People walk out into traffic and get run over, people jump off of balconies trying to reach a swimming pool and miss."
She said the sting operations would continue throughout the state.

Coarse edged youth, the irish pendants string from their smiles
not yet plucked as to slacken the seams
and drag down the features of age,
no folds or creases from unkempt wear
eyes of tranquilty, crystalline-beads
no sign of despair in their hair, nor their hearts
but oh they have yet to be experienced and that makes aging so very worth it...ML circa2012

I think that this thread could develop into a stimulating discussion on the culture of the states and how the individuals "freedom" is being depleted slowly and slowly.
It is now legal for the state to spy on you, tap your phone, etc, and they can know enter a drinking establishment and arrest you for drinking.
whats next?? will they be able to enter your home on a whim and search through your possession for any shred of incriminating evidence??

So everyone will quit drinking in bars and start having private parties where no restrictions on age etc will be enforced.

We have a butt-load of freedom here... When I start getting cynical about it, I look at all the people in the third world countries that don't have the option and then I think we are all pretty spoiled.

We have a butt-load of freedom, because our grandparents and generations before them wouldn't take shit from anyone, even the government. Those days are long passed, and Americans are pussies living off the achievements of those generations before us. I am as guilty as the next guy, so don't get your panties in a wad.

I am sick of trading my freedoms every fucking day so Joe blow down the street can feel safer. The founding fathers never intended the government to save us from ourselves. I am sick of people claiming that the "war on terror" gives one man the right to spy on law abiding citizens. I am sick of religious fundamentalist trying to control what I can and can't do by lobbying local government officials to vote the way the religious conservatives want.
I can't watch what I want to
I can't listen to what I want to
I can't put into my body what I want to
I can't say what I want to
I can’t get drunk in a bar (in Texas, lol)
Yeah, we are free!
But don't get me wrong, I love the US. Despite its flaws, I think it still is the best country in the world. I feel about my country the same I feel about my brother. I love him and want to see him do well, but I can't help but to stop him every now and then and say, "Look dude, that is fucking dumb and you shouldn't do that."
I am tired of the government lying to my fucking face. Stand up and tell me the truth and stop spinning everything. The left is full of shit and the right is full of shit. The truth almost always lies in the middle.
But I digress, we are on a spiral down the shitter, and I just don't care anymore. I am just going to try to live my life as happy as I can and speak my mind at the voting booths.“I used to do drugs. I still do drugs. But I used to, too.”

At University of Illinois the city/state keeps track of what bars you go to.
On our lisences we have a bar code on the back...whenever you go into a bar/club they scan it into a database.

This just proves my point...
If you want to get shit-faced...
Do it with a large group of people
around a campfire in the woods, and bring plenty of guns...
That way when that pair of "Lone" DNR officers shows up...
...They won't even get out of the car -

I don't understand how that is even legal, I would be so pissed if I got arrested while in a bar just for being drunk.
I thought it was bullshit when I spent the night in the drunk tank for pissing in an alley.I drive a big truck
