Since I live on my boat every weekend, I can't support a no open container law. I could support a no drunk driver law, but we already have one.
I could probably support a no open container in the driver's hand law, but that would be really tough to enforce, since the driver could just hand the container to someone when police were in view. Or the driver could switch from a visible beer can in his hand, to a mixed drink in a innocent container.
I really think we just need to enforce the BUI laws we have. And get better at winning cases. I'm not convinced that our MP don't have the tools they need today to make a difference. You don't need a checkpoint.
