Texas undercover agents have infiltrated bars to catch people for "public intoxication"

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060323/od_nm/bars1_dc

SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) - Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said on Wednesday.

The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public intoxication, said the commission's Carolyn Beck.

Being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkeness, Beck said.

The goal, she said, was to detain drunks before they leave a bar and go do something dangerous like drive a car.

"We feel that the only way we're going to get at the drunk driving problem and the problem of people hurting each other while drunk is by crackdowns like this," she said.

"There are a lot of dangerous and stupid things people do when they're intoxicated, other than get behind the wheel of a car," Beck said. "People walk out into traffic and get run over, people jump off of balconies trying to reach a swimming pool and miss."

She said the sting operations would continue throughout the state.

thats so true...

bringer · 03-27-2006, 03:34 AM

perhaps a better idea would be to give breathalizors to drivers as they exit the bars parking lot. i have no problem with that and i dont think anyone else would either.

Malicious Biz · 03-27-2006, 05:23 AM

by law no bar is allowed to sell alcohol to anyone who is intoxicated.. A friend of mine actually took the test in texas a few years back ( they let you do it from home, they mail you a videotape to watch , then you do the test on the internet as you watch the video , its timed )

Laws like that aren't uncommon - it's illegal to be drunk in a pub in England.

Kinda classic! It would not have been the first time I had to drive a lawdog home from a bar in Texas when they were totally intoxicated and talking shit.

Now the same people are trying to cuff the public for the same thing???

I do have a problem with that. are you going to have your packages check against your reciept as you leave the mall parking lot to make sure you did not steal anything??? give then 1 billionth of an inch, and they will take every mile they can get.

pornguy · 03-27-2006, 11:45 AM

What they need to do, is get the cops on the streets doing thier jobs, and making the DUI arrests. But they dont do it, because they dont like all the paper work.

Fred Quimby · 03-27-2006, 11:49 AM

Was that the guy that was busted in a hotel lobby bar, where he had a room that night?

That was total BS

wedouglas · 03-27-2006, 11:58 AM

That is ridiculous. I'd fight that case till the day I die just to waste my and other tax payers money publicly

dissipate · 03-27-2006, 12:02 PM

Last time I checked - people do get drunk at bars. But it's rediculous how some bartenders will keep serving intoxicated patrons just to make a few more bucks.

G-Rotica · 03-27-2006, 12:06 PM

Texas cops are asshats.

???? Why the fuck to people go to bars in the first place??? Now you can't get drunk at a bar?

That's like saying if you go to a message board called 'Go Fuck Yourself' you'll get arrested for cussing.
