Texas Arresting People In Bars For Being Drunk

Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said on Wednesday.

The first sting operation was conducted recently in a Dallas suburb where agents infiltrated 36 bars and arrested 30 people for public intoxication, said the commission’s Carolyn Beck.

Being in a bar does not exempt one from the state laws against public drunkenness, Beck said.

Sweet! This is just like in the movie "Minority Report" where they arrest people for crimes they're gonna commit in the future. I can just imagine how it must go: "You're under arrest for public urination fifteen minutes from now!" It's the ultimate sting operation really since people have had hundreds of years to get used to going into bars to get drunk and bravo to the police for their patience. They waited til just the right time to spring the trap and now they're gonna catch people so off guard. It's brilliant!
