Yes, if you are in possession of an open container of alcohol while being a passenger in a vehicle in a jurisdiction where open container laws are strictly enforced, you can be arrested. It is illegal in many places to have an open container of alcohol in a vehicle, regardless of whether you are the driver or a passenger.
The driver of the vehicle is typically responsible if a passenger has an open container of alcohol in the vehicle. The driver could receive a ticket or citation for allowing an open container in the vehicle, depending on local laws. It's important for drivers to ensure that all passengers follow laws related to open containers while in the vehicle.
Its not about the town its the entire state Conn does not have a container law the passenger is allowed to drink alcohol not the driver.
It depends on who got the ticket. If the ticket was issued to the driver it will effect his insurance but if it was issued to the passenger then it will only effect his insurance.
Negative. Open containers are illegal in every state. This answer is false. There are 7 states where there are no open container laws. While it is illegal for the driver to consume alcohol, passengers may do so. Mississippi actually allows the driver to consume alcohol. Virginia is one of the 7 that has no open container law pertaining to a passenger in a motor vehicle.
