Texas Police Will Arrest You For Thinking About Drinking Next...
Topic: Stupidity
How we did not hear about this, we cannot imagine. Oh yes, we were drunk, but thank god in the Uptown area of Dallas and not the D-town suburb of Irving, Texas. Irving police on Friday, March 17 (
St. Patrick's Day, for all you blacker-outers - ed.) decided that if you wanted to go out for some reveling and have a good time partaking in alcoholic beverages, well your little ass is just going straight to jail.
Yes, the Dallas suburb's police department sent out undercover police to bars in search of publicly intoxicated individuals in hope of arresting them and scaring the rest of the partiers into not breaking the law. They would sit inside the bar, even with their fellow patrons they were waiting to arrest, and then make their move after they had enough evidence of intoxication.
What these dumb sons of bitches forgot was that bars, unless owned by the city, are private property, and unless the person is starting a fight, the police have no right to simply walk in and arrest someone for drinking. PRIVATE PROPERTY. NO ARRESTY IN PRIVATE PROPERTY.
Now, the Hammer of Truth, our new favorite news breakers, have let us on to this wonderful act of mercy, or whatever. So to anyone of our nearly 150,000 readers know any of the 39 people that were arrested in a private bar, pass along the word that they can sue the ever living shit out of the City of Irving Police Department, because there's nothing illegal about being over the legal limit in a bar.
As Ron White once said, "Hey, hey, hey, don't arrest me for public intoxication. I was drunk in a bar. They threw me into public, arrest them."
