Regarding public vs. private property, a bar is indeed private property, but its a public [i]place[/i], as the general public has access to it. That's how they justify it as public intoxication. At least that's how I've heard it explained. The real problem here is there are no checks. No sobriety tests are performed. No breathalizers are given. Even if you ask for one, they won't do it. So there's no way for you whatsoever to prove in court that you were [i]not[/i] drunk. Most people would choose to pay their $250 fine rather than hire a lawyer for $600 to fight it, anyway -- and they know this. Stories are already surfacing about ridiculous arrests. There was the man who was arrested for getting drunk at a hotel bar [i]on the way to his room[/i]. Just exactly how was he a threat to himself and others in this case? Then there was the woman was arrested for slurring, even though she and the bar owner both explained vehemently that she had MS. (I have not independently verified these stories, but I trusted the source.)
