Alright, so I fair amount of info in here, thanks. I read over that link that was posted and I still have some gray area. So, let's assume I'm the driver of the boat and my two passengers are both drinking. I had one beer earlier in the day when we were shore fishing. Fish cop decides to come check us and notices open containers in the boat. I am clearly under the legal limit, but my buddies are good and sloshed.
Do I get a ticket for open container? What if I haven't been drinking at all? The way I read it, you can only get in trouble with an open container if you're the person driving the boat -- but that's pretty damn vague if your buddies are the ones drinking. If how I read it is correct, how would the crick-dick know?
I know I'm beating this point to death, and tell truth, I don't even drink -- but I've noticed people on this site posting pictures of fish in their boat and there are open beer cans/bottles all over the place. I just wanted to clear things up and maybe give heads up to those fella's that might be doing something wrong and don't know it.
