i was at bloomsburg, PA all day today looking for an apartment cause i start at Bloom U in the spring. well i found a really freakng nice 1 thats close to campus and main street. my boy is moving in with me and 1 of our criteria is that there be a bar withing walking distance. well, at this place, main street is about 1/4 mile away. and theres 5-6 bars on that street. so thats kindof a long walk. ok, no biggie. so we go to the tavern nearest the apartment to check it out. its pretty nice.

so were talking to the people and 2 customers AND the bartender tell us how bad the cops are around bloom. apparently on weekends, there a cop on every corner of the bar waiting to catch people for DUIs. and supposedly thats how it is with every bar in bloom. so that sux big time, but then they tell us if were WALKING outside while intoxicated, well get a public drunkeness citation (even if we are causeing problems or making a scene). is that legal? can they do that? that seems so rediculous. and supposedly bloomsburg police department is ranked 3rd in PA for DUI charges.

Any1 here go to bloom? can any1 confirm this? and is that whole public drunkeness thing legal?

That *****. Was gonna say just walk to the bars considering it looks like you need it. Matter of fact go up to the cops and shake there hand and say thank you for protecting me from not drinking anymore beer. I am sure he will understand why you said what you said to him after he takes a look at you.

That is coming from one fat boy to another. Lets diet together.

citations don't mean ****

and you cant only get one if you act drunk in public,so

act reasonably normally when you walk by the PIGS and you wont have an issue.

The PIGS know its a college town and are a little more forgiving.

You make it sounds as if the PIGS are sitting in their cars outside the bar's eating donuts waiting for you .....

They can bust you for public intoxication but most won't unless you act like a jackass.

 

[squeak9798 5,000+ posts]

is that legal? can they do that?

Yes and yes.

that seems so rediculous.

If Bloom is a college town (sounds like it is), then they probably do it intentionally to thwart disorderly conduct by intoxicated college students.

and is that whole public drunkeness thing legal?

Yes.

If you are intoxicated in a public place, then you can get a citation (or taken to jail) for public intoxication/drunkenness.

I highly doubt there is actually a cop on each corner, just waiting for drunken idiots... There must be some higher form of crime in the city, a drunk pedestrian shouldnt be much of a worry for the police.

And the norm for public intoxication is that you sober up in a cell for the night..

Yes and yes.

Yes.

Yep, here in hillbillyville they won't ticket you. They will arrest you for public intoxication. And you get to spend the evening in some lovely company. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I had a cop take a major sucker shot at me from behind, while I was sitting in a chair at a club in South Padre Island once. I had no idea he was there, or that there was any reason for him to attack me. All of a sudden I was tackled out of my chair, onto the ground so hard that my head, face, elbow, and shoulder ground several feet on a rough pavement floor with this cop prick's entire weight on top of me. He said it was for public intoxication but I was far from drunk. I didn't even have a drink on me, and was just sitting in a chair amusing myself watching my buddies dance like 80's freaks with some girls they were flirting with.

That night I spent on the floor of their jail with around 30 drunk college guys. The next morning the local judge didn't care about the story and nailed me with the PI conviction because he said he thought "someone like me" would do something like that. There was absolutely no proof or reason for the attack or the charge.

At the time, I had shaved sides and back of my head and the top was long -- down to the back of my waist and wore a goatee. Must have been a pretty rebellious look for those hicks because there was no chance for me to defend myself. I intend to get an attourney some day to screw with them, but since I would need to be there, I'll have to get some time away from work.

The cops and judicial system there work together to make money for the town and cover each other's butts. I'm sure it's the same in other towns.

It was the same way at my college cops around the bars all the time. Mostly they were there for fights and to nail kids that were stupid enough to drive. They have been around drunk college kids for years and years. As long as you dont cause a problem or a scene they wont even notice you. They are there for safety and liability reasons.

from what ive been told, thats what the pigs do. they sit out and wait for the kids. thats why im worried. supposedly they can bust us just for being intoxicated. without even causing any problems
