Oldmotherhubbard User ID: 3926723 United States 07/03/2012 11:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The vast majority of states do not require a breathalyzer for drunk in public. It is solely on the officers discretion if you are falling down, causing problems, if you are endangering yourself or others. Sounds like if your friend wants to hire a lawyer he could get off. Stating that the traffic was not safe for biker travel and the sidewalk had a curb etc.... May cost more for the lawyer than the actual fines but bets 6 month jail or probation with mandatory AA meetings.

Sunny-daze (OP) User ID: 13640639 United States 07/03/2012 11:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am pretty sure it depends on the state. Quoting: Oldmotherhubbard The vast majority of states do not require a breathalyzer for drunk in public. It is solely on the officers discretion if you are falling down, causing problems, if you are endangering yourself or others. Sounds like if your friend wants to hire a lawyer he could get off. Stating that the traffic was not safe for biker travel and the sidewalk had a curb etc.... May cost more for the lawyer than the actual fines but bets 6 month jail or probation with mandatory AA meetings. Thank you for your replies.....He's sitting in jail now, his fine was 400.00 and he decided to sit it out. Question Authority!
