(Ord. of 8-10-72(2))
Its a good law
Its idiotic because if you pick up some liquor and park your car on town property or the side of a road, its illegal. So you have to pick up your beer AFTER paying your taxes at the town hall. Possession of alcohol should not be a crime if you are of age. Its when you drink it in the wrong places that it is illegal
How is that idiotic?
