    I don't understand your post?
    What rights given to who? Police, government?
    What has been going on for years? Getting arrested in bars for being drunk?

    They're, technically, giving rights to people who don't want smoke around them. Even if you don't agree with banning smoking, it's, logically, (and still up for discussion) an equation as such. The right of smoking where ever one wants being stripped away and given to those who want the right to not have ones smoke around them. What "rights" are defined as, these days, is a moot topic, anyway.

    And, yes; getting arrested in bars has been going on for years, as has other strange laws and enforcements. Prohibition. "The War on Drugs". It's all political paranoia. Stupid politics, that's for sure.

    I know, Angela. But the point is, they were in effect arresting them for drunk driving before they ever got behind the wheel. That's just wrong. I don't drink myself, am alway the designated driver, and am a big supporter of MADD and SADD, but you don't arrest someone because they might do something wrong later.

    FK
    Many people are under the assumption that bars in Texas are private establishments, but they're not. In Texas they're considered to be public establishments under the law and are applicable where the public intoxications laws are concerned. And, as many police officers will tell you, ignorance of the law is not an excuse.

    They're arresting them for public intoxication, not DWI before they enter the car. PI and DWI are both illegal in Texas, and I don't have a problem with that at all, and I drink, but don’t get wasted off my ass like some people do. Just watch the morning news and you'll see horrendous accidents caused by drunk drivers, or troll the streets in your vehicle when the bars and clubs close. You'll see a car here and there swerving off-center in its lane. Not long ago while returning home, I sat for a half hour in a traffic jam in the middle of the day, only to see two mangled cars on the freeway. The accident was caused by a drunken teenager racing another car. A pregnant woman was killed. There are always cases every year where drunken patrons leave a bar on foot to go home, cross the street, and get smacked by a car. In a hospital visitor’s area one night, I overheard doctors trying to explain to a woman that her husband had no face to repair. He left a bar drunk, stepped out onto the highway, and got mowed down by an eighteen wheeler.

    Intoxicated pedestrians can also be a nuisance and even a danger to the public. I have a police scanner, and listen from time to time while I’m working. Yesterday there was a call put out on an intoxicated individual banging his fists on the windows of a small business. It was only 1:00 in the afternoon.

    Contrary to what Seanchai may believe, this is not an infringement upon our civil liberties in this state. This is not ‘just the start’ as Seanchai would have it, as I’ve lived here my entire life. That has been the law here for as long as I can remember, and DWI’s have increased here in recent times. The state decided to use that law to perform stings to curb DWI’s and PI’s. They always do this temporarily and usually stop it after a while. Sometimes there is a need for ‘zero tolerance’ to make communities safer for everyone.

    Now in Texas, you can be wasted in your home or yard, and there’s nothing the police can do about it, unless you’re causing a disturbance.

    The law is simple, and is there for the good of the community at large. These are not Storm Troopers invading our private lives on the order of a government with totalitarian aspirations. Even the police who are arresting these individuals drink. You get arrested when you’ve gone too far with it. And all they do is lock you up for the night to sober up, and then release you in the morning. And for the most part, the police are still pretty reasonable and tolerant. Even if they know you’ve been drinking, as long as you have your wits about you, they’ll pretty much leave you alone.

    It’s been that way for a long long time, and for good reason.

    Mega, I have to respectfully disagree with you regarding at least part of your statement's intent. I've spent a good deal of time outside the United States, and I have to say that this is not – categorically speaking – the best nation to live in. If you want to talk about economic opportunity and upward mobility, then, yes, I would agree that this nation provides more opportunities than any other. However, so far as quality of life related issues go, the United States is definitely not the best country to live in. Canada and a host of European nations provide the same degree of freedoms we enjoy without some of our more pervasive social ills.

    Only in America...

    You're being arrested before the crime? If you proved you didn't have a car can you be arrested?

    We all agree that drunk driving is a crime that's not in question but how about we arrest all women before getting into cars for reckless driving and operating an auto without due care and attention?
    How about we arrest every tranny who steps out of her apartment dressed slutty for the possiblility that she's going to solicit to prostitute.

    It is a liberty being taken away from you and it's ridiculous. The mind boggles what people will sit back and take next.
