Anyone know what the fine typically is for an open container ticket in NC?

3/31/2007 11:31:35 AM

like 35 and 75 court cost

3/31/2007 11:39:13 AM

are you serious? there's a law against "open alcohol"? is this in a car? if you're not drunk, why should it matter?

3/31/2007 12:13:58 PM

yes there are all kind of dumb laws regarding alcohol

3/31/2007 12:20:41 PM

^^Are you retarded? That's been a law as long as people can remember in many cases.

3/31/2007 12:21:13 PM

3/31/2007 12:27:14 PM

Court cost is $110, there's a fine on top of that. Probably only like $25 though.

3/31/2007 2:09:50 PM

^maybe so - like i said, its been a lil while. Im not digigng for the paper work

3/31/2007 4:05:18 PM

I got an open container ticket in a motorized vehicle (ECU bus) in January...

Shit is getting dismissed after $200 in Lawyer fees and 12 hrs. community service

GAY ASS SHIT

I got one awhile back too. I just paid the fine and that was the end of it.

3/31/2007 5:06:06 PM

reason I ask is I have a bet with my roomate on how much the fine is. The only thing I can find is that it is up to 1000

^what was the fine?

3/31/2007 11:07:21 PM

$115 I think.

4/1/2007 3:51:23 PM

$110

4/1/2007 4:14:27 PM

amazing - the first response FTW

I would be more concerned with what this is going to do to your insurance costs.

4/1/2007 8:19:38 PM

13. Possession of open container of alcoholic beverage in motor vehicle. [G.S. 20-138.7(a)(1)]

$ 25 and costs (was 105 when I worked there, might have gone up to 110 though)

please read before posting


its just an infraction


they just changed the law within the last 2 years that states that you may have an open container in a vehicle as long as teh driver has not been drinking. We used to drive around raleigh and drink on the way to the bars as long as we had a DD before hand

4/2/2007 10:07:30 AM

^ that second part is a myth

4/2/2007 10:21:54 AM

But offica, I read on TWW that they changed the law within the last two years! You can't give me a ticket!
