“Open Alcohol In Car”

Never lost one in court...

I have had a charge like that but not in a vehicle.

I was in a after-hours bar one time when it got raided.

Me and my gal were just sitting having a drink.

They had shotguns stuff like that.(Toronto)

They took anyone dancing out in paddy wagon's

For the rest of us they went around and gave tickets.(to leave)

My friend decided to resist a bit and after that our whole table was just gone.

And him too lol.

I went to court on the ticket because I knew they had no evidence.

I recognized 4 of them in court.

Guess what?

My charge and the 3 against my friend were dropped./cancelled

No reason they just told me to leave.

Viper1 - that is an unique situation, it was an afterhour party raid - I will speculate that the crown saw all the charges and rather than prosecute all the little ones (such as yours) they added that much more of a penailty onto the owner/organizer of the event....in other words the instigator got the extra!
