you really need to check the local laws within your city..or if you live in the boonies..you need to check the county laws.....

they vary greatly!!

I don't know, can you?

I just did a little research, and it seems that there is precedent for unfenced front yards to be considered public places (at least in California).

Fill up an empty beer bottle with water.
Go outside and start drinking.
Wait for cops to show up.

(Technically, you're not consuming alcohol.)

For reference, in America there are these things called states. Within these so-called states are things called counties. Within them?
Cities.
You really need to understand they all have different rules.

Where do you live?
Can you check the laws?
Why not ask a cop?

in my city in cali the police could ticket you as drinking in public.

Here in NJ, not in the front yard / driveway .. But it is fine in your backyard.

Since the OP didn't post his city/state, maybe we can use this to find out where he is from.

You're not allowed to drink beer on your front lawn? wtf

 

[Whoozyerdaddy]

Shit... I drink beer on other people's front lawn. No worries...

 

[boomhower]

Here, as long as you aren't causing a problem your fine. If you are you would be cited for disorderly but not the alcohol.

"Freedom" is the opiate of the masses.

Calling and asking the police, or even an officer of the law you may come in contact with isn't going to get them to patrol your 'hood regularly. So ask.

[nageov3t]

not in NJ, but it's one of those things that no cop is going to harass you over unless you're being disruptive.

lol, reminds me of karate in 1st grade. After giving the "Well, can you?" he'd promptly lecture on us on how we're supposed to say "May we?". After we'd ask the corrected version he'd say "No, next time.", which would lead to the kid receiving an unwanted yellow belt.
