I was charged with "possession of an open container of an alcoholic beverage in the PASSENGER area of a vehicle", meaning I was NOT driving. This was 4 days ago. Today, I went to see the Clerk of Court in my county. They explained that this was an INFRACTION and that NO infractions show on your background check, even if you are convicted of that infraction. Only "criminal acts" appear on a background check and my charge is an INFRACTION.
What else can I help you with?
Can you be arrested for an open container if you were just standing on a sidewalk?
AnswerYes you can. To a cop, it's like you put up a red neon sign, and if there are 5 of you in the car and only one drinking, the driver is still likely to be the one bearing the sharp end of the law, even if he didn't even know it was there. I mean REALLY didn't know. He's in charge of the vehicle, and in some places he might well have it impounded. Plus, if I see you out round my town and you are driving drunk, I'm probably the guy following you and talking to the cop on my cell phone to make sure the kid you kill isn't mine. I can still never understand why a Coors Lite is worth a month in a Texas jail. PhilActually the person who answered before me is incorrect, you cannot be arrested for open container, or speeding, but those are the only two you cannot be arrested for. You may be cited for open container. And if you have been drinking, then yes, but just the open container, no. Person who answered before me, go read the Texas Traffic laws.
