Question about open container law?
|
I live in MT. We used to not have an open container law, but now we do. There is a natural hot spring which I frequent either by myself or my two boys. I always bring a bucket to add river water to the hot spring to cool it down. There are always several beer bottles or cans around the hot spring, so when I'm done bathing, I fill my bucket with these and other misc. garbage and take it home to throw away or recycle. In fact, I always pick up garbage and take it home whenever I find some on my travels through the woods, etc. Today my husband was with me and told me about this open container law and said that if I were to get pulled over, I would get a really hefty fine for having these empty cans and bottles in my car. Is this true? Would I really get in trouble for picking up garbage? If so, what are some possible ways to transport garbage such as this?

And what about when I take my recyclables to the dump? Is there a special way I need to transport these? There are sometimes beer or liquor bottles from home in them...???

I would throw them in garbage bags, tie up and transport in the trunk of my car. Call the local law enforcement in your area and ask.* |

Put the bucket in the trunk of your car, that way they know that you were not drinking the alcohol as you were driving. |

As long as they are in a trash bag, and as long as you have not been drinking you should be okay. |

Did you try google first?

a trash bag would suffice.
the fact that you have an empty beer can is EVIDENCE that you were drinking and driving, but it alone does not prove you have been...
If you don't smell like alcohol, there is not much a cop can do.
Your husband was likely just messing with you because he thinks it makes his wife look homeless when she picks up cans :-) |
