Venice Beach Crackdown: LAPD Issues Citations for Open Containers Over Labor Day Weekend

What's so great about whole US? Still can't enjoy a beer outside, other countries are way ahead of you. Also getting arrested for not signing a piece of paper is ridiculous, who made that law? I bet the cops pushed for that, easy arrest, points for them.

Super cool video, however, I think that the egocentric back-alley "lawyer" Zero with the cesspool-mouth needed to be cited for something akin to 'public indecency'. Women and little children of every age strolling by on a holiday afternoon and every other word out of Daddy Slick's mouth was a fuck-bomb. Creepy, annoying, and in some communities, unlawful public behavior. Otherwise, a great video. I enjoy bearing witness to focused and reasonably affable policemen performing their job, effectively.

For content to be ruled obscene, it must meet a three-pronged test established by the Supreme Court: It must appeal to an average person's prurient interest; depict or describe sexual conduct in a "patently offensive" way; and, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.
