I think there is a law about open liquor in public. I didnt know you could be fined so highly for it though, and it definitely does not justify the bullshit. Its not like I was chugging it as I walked by, I just wanted to get on the bus.

I guess you dont really think about these kind of things until they happen to you. If I saw some cops take another guys stuff id probably laugh at him, but I dont know how that could impact his life. Maybe he just lost his job/house/wife and was on the verge of a mental breakdown and thats all it took to go on a genocidal rampage. Humans a fragile things, and stupid things. Can advanced aliens happen yet?

Adam, there's a few problems with your view of dickishness on this.
The cops weren't being dicks to you or anything.

You admit to being drunk in public. Right there, that's illegal. You're allowed to be drunk in a bar, in a restaurant (within reason), or in your/someone elses house. You're not allowed to transition between places while drunk. You are allowed to BE drunk, you just cant let people SEE that you're drunk.
You admit to having an open(ed) bottle of booze. That too, is also illegal. Either because [from their perspective] A) You were drinking it in public or B) You have intent to drink it in public.

If they wanted to be dicks they would have thrown you in the drunk tank for public intoxication. If they REALLY wanted to be dicks, they'd write you the ticket and then also throw you in the tank.

I know I was doing illegal things, but there are worse people out there than me holding booze wanting to get on a bus. I just wish people could listen to reason, that I could just explain myself and be on my way. They could even have still took my booze cause they do have the right to do that, and that was my bad for having it in visible sight, but having to question me and ID me and shit like that so that I miss my bus was a diskish thing to do. It was sitting right there, 10 feet away. I was obviously running towards it, wtf else would I be running at?

I dont think I mentioned it before but it was the last bus of the night, which is a big chunk of the "im pissed off" part.
