getting caught with alcohol.

16wantsI6 · 28-10-2006, 07:57 PM

hey everyone,

16wantsI6 · 28-10-2006, 07:59 PM

I know its illegal to have open alcohol containers in NSW, but it is not illegal in the ACT. It is however illegal to ride a sheep while under the influence in the ACT (I can post the legislation which specificaly says this if anyone is interested)

Unless the sheep didnt consent

16wantsI6 · 28-10-2006, 08:03 PM

even if i am 17 and not accompanied by an adult?

BA_BOSS · 28-10-2006, 08:21 PM

Unless WA has different laws, cant see why it would be illegal to transport unopened alcohol even if you are 17. To be on the safe side, ring your mate's Dad?

What similar laws apply to vic? What's a toy carriage? Does anyone have a toy carriage for sale? Might just be enough to get me home...

XA Coupsta · 28-10-2006, 08:20 PM

ha ha ha, ill pay that one. Nah mate, a "roady" is the one bottle required to help reduce the pain i seem to get from work until i get to the accomodation where there is alot more remedial bottles waiting (and no bloody jokes about other "remedial" substances you can easily get in Canberra!!)

16wantsI6 · 28-10-2006, 08:23 PM

yeah lol i will just do it anyway
and if i get pulled up ill just be nice and polite anyway, i reckon thats the best way to get through with the cops, talk about the footy or cricket or sumthing.

16wantsI6 · 28-10-2006, 08:30 PM

but your allowed to be ****ed in a toy carriage!

05MkIIFutura · 28-10-2006, 08:33 PM

The reason there is no open-bottle rule in ACT is so the politicians can have mini-bars in the back of the commonwealth cars for the 15 minute drive to the airport

16wantsI6 · 28-10-2006, 08:32 PM

lol i might as well as call this the "what animals or things are u allowed to drive while intoxicated" thread
because its gone completely off topic

Sorry mate, but I can say to you that I am very sure unopened bottles are completely OK to have. Of course if a cop pulls you over and suspects that you are consuming alcohol they might take the bottles from you, but there cant be any charges laid. If you are that worried about it, carry the alcohol in the boot that way there is a clear distinction (they wont see it back there anyway unless they do a search - and if they do that you were prob being a ****er anyway). If it was illegal to have sealed containers, wouldnt drive-thru bottle shops be illegal??

If you have some spare time, check out the WA legislation at http://www.slp.wa.gov.au/statutes/swans.nsf

Otherwise from my experience just treat the cops with respect and politeness and they will happily treat you the same (and resist the urge to ride that bloody sheep across the front of parliament house!!!)

One thing i do know is DO NOT DRIVE HOME. Either drink or drive, dont try and do a balancing act and do both (I have lost a mate in a car crash and it is not worth it)

I heard of a guy getting fined for driving a ride-on lawnmower while over the limit.

16wantsI6 · 28-10-2006, 08:46 PM

yeah lol i know u can drive with un-opened bottles but since im 17 i was just wondering what they would do, i got pulled over a month ago and they searched my front cab for alco/drugs, although he just knelt in and had a peak (i could of had 10cartons and 20ounces of marijuana) and he wouldnt of seen them.
oh by the way im not into drugs that was just hypothetical.

oh and i wasnt being a ******** so thats why he only had a look in my cab.
(i have a feeling he just wanted to check my car out lol) dont see to many XB pannos rolling around...

Scott · 28-10-2006, 08:47 PM

I always thought that any alcohol had to travel in the boot?? Might have dreamt it and decided to run with it...... I do that sometimes.

I believe that is or was the law in Victoria at some stage.

His point is that he is underaged

Split it into smaller bottles and hide them in your air box

Sorry, i looked over that point

As far as i know it is illegal to purchase alcohol and consume alcohol, but i dont think possession is against the law. Same as smokes
