Some Pennsylvania state troopers staged one of those unconstitutional DUI roadblocks last Saturday night in Perry County, inconveniencing nearly a hundred motorists while blindly searching for impaired drivers. Part of their haul was nabbing two people for drunkenness.
Two pedestrians.
"troopers also cited two pedestrians for public drunkenness after they were observed to be intoxicated as they walked through the checkpoint area."
Not "drunk and disorderly", not interfering with the troopers and their Stasi-like checkpoint, but apparently merely walking home after a fun night out, something that we're told to do instead of trying to pilot a car with a snootful of booze.
This isn't as bad as the moronic Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission and city of Irving police officers who in 2006 were actually going into bars and arresting people for being drunk (even traveling guests in a hotel bar who clearly weren't going anywhere) as part of some idiotic plan called "Operation Last Call", until they were embarrassed into ending the program.
But it's close.
