open container.
im underage. if i were carrying a bottle of alcohol in my car, but it WASN'T open, and i got pulled over just say at a road block of something, and they found it, could i be in any kind of trouble? i've heard that if it's not open, they cant do anything about it.
im in Georgia if it makes a difference.

Yes, you could be. Where I'm from, you could get charged with illegal transportation and illegal possession. I don't know the exact laws in georgia, but I would assume that they could definitely do something, especially since it's in a car. It doesn't happen very often, but technically in Illinois, they can take away your license just for having a closed container in your car, so you should definitely find out what the laws are in your state so you don't get yourself into trouble.

Hi,
Yes you'd be in trouble. I am not aware of any state that doesn't have a "Minor in Possesion" law. If it's open then you'd have even more problems. So yes they can do something about it, open or closed.

The laws are a bit sneaky. Best to
keep it in your trunk and out of the
passenger area of your car.
Even 1 can of beer could be considered
an open container. The can may not be
open, but the box it came in is...even
if you don't have the box. :)
