His parents bought him the car THREE weeks before the bottle was found, with the explicit instructions....NO BOOZE or no car. The car was in their name, so it wasn't HIS car, it was their car for him to use. AND it was their financial liability for any injurious actions to other that he might have committed in that vehicle.
IF he had been stopped for any reason, say speeding, at his age, an officer would have searched the car. It happens all the time. So the open container is found in the vehicle....son would definitely get multiple citations for that one.

Leaving the ad up on the Register website bring about the opportunity to discuss a serious topic in a bit of a light hearted manner. After all, we are all discussing it here.
Bottom line for me....Alcohol and vehicles and being underage means you get in a sh!tload of trouble. Face me or face a judge, you decide.
