What else are ya gonna do when you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere?
This B.C. town, which shall remain anonymous to save embarrassing the
sober part of town, got a handle in its drunk driving problem, but now
there seems to be an abundance of drunk walkers staggering around at all times of the day and night.
The proposed ban would bring a ticket costing up to $200.00 for
anyone strolling around after too much booze. Seems local authorities
are getting tired of finding people passed out in alleyways and behind
stores.
Some city council members are convinced the proposed law will help keep the community safe……………….., but not everyone agrees.
One councilor told a gathered crowd the law is needed because “our
Municipal Code doesn’t have a lot of teeth in it. It’s like my dog. He
has very few teeth left and if he bites you, you probably wouldn’t even
know it,”
Another councilor said: “I understand people can be a menace, but there’s got to be other ways to handle it than outlawing drunk walking.”
There will be a public hearing on the amendment, which would also put more stringent penalties on littering and selling cigarettes to minors.
Seems anyone left standing at the conclusion of the meeting will be considered in favour of the motion!
