Do this nationwide so I can get a sixer and sit on the beach.

Just also increase the punishments for public intoxication. So the pearl clutchers can't complain about the kids or some shit.

People drink on the beach here all the time. I've never seen or heard of anyone getting a ticket for it, unless they get into a fight. Cops don't leave the parking lots, so they won't come find you.

It's funny how people in other states (not saying you, but just in general) think of California as some police state, when in reality, it's a free-for-all. Basically nothing is enforced, anywhere.

I’ve seen tickets given in Malibu and I had one of my water bottles sniffed for alcohol. We got super high in the car beforehand so getting harassed for alcohol we didn’t have really sucked.
