No. When you are in your own home you are not in public.
However, if your were just returning to your home with the police following, and they caught up with you there, they might charge you for being intoxicated in public before you got to the privacy of your home.
Yes, you could.
Scenarios:
You're very drunk and standing on your own front lawn. A neighbor kid rides by on his/her bike and laughs at you because you look like an idiot. You cuss the kid out. You are publicly intoxicated. The general public can see your (drunken/intoxicated) behavior and may be offended by it.
You and friends are in your backyard having a BBQ and getting drunk. Your neighbors are watering their lawn and this reminds you that you need to relieve yourself which you do.....on your flowerbed. Your neighbors can have you arrested because you can be seen from another private residence or a public location committing behavior which may be offensive to others.
It depends on where you live. Some places it is illegal, some places it is legal.
Permits
No. If you did not own, or have full legal acess to, the property at the time the offense was committed it amounts to a crime. Depending on the circumstances and the timeframe of your potentially taking full legal possession of the property, you might conceivably be able to plea the charge down to a lesser offense such as "trespass."
Yes. Being on private property does not insulate you from law enforcement. If police observe something that warrants a traffic stop, they can make it regardless of whether you are in your driveway, a private parking lot, or a public street. There are some limits to what police can observe on private property, but these generally don't come up in a traffic situation, because it is normally a case where they can see from the public road or the offense occurred on the public road.
Yes you can, because you are blocking a public right of way for pedestrians. It is a fine-able offense.
The charge would probably be 'public intoxication'. Not in most states. You need to be "Operating a Motor Vehicle" and a horse is not a motor vehicle. If you do some research on the web you can be armed with as much knowledge and info as an expensive traffic attorney. You will be able to argue your case and maybe get a reduction or dismissal of the ticket.
It depends on which property they are on. For example in public places like fast food locations they might be able to stay on that property. But homes are considered to be private property and the owner can kick the homeless man or woman from his or her property.
This depends on where you got the ticket. It should have come with some information about how to pay it (where to send your check, etc). If there's a phone number on there, call it up and they should be able to tell you no problem.
Yes, but you won't be able to operate a motor vehicle on public property.
There is no arrest records I've been able to find for Brent Smith, however Tony Battaglia, who was the guitarist at the time, was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication and resisting arrest. He was then kicked out of the band.
Of course. How else will the public be able to determine the ownership of the property. All documents that affect real property must be recorded in the jurisdiction (usually a county or town office) where the land is located or they will have no effect.
yes
It depends on your priors but it shouldn't be a jail able offense. If you have been jailed I would talk with your attorney or the public defender for proper legal advise.
