"Dover to pull plug on drinking ban idea; Wording raised fears of Big Brother" by Stephanie Ebbert, Globe Staff | May 4, 2009
Call it the back deck drinking ban.
On the agenda today at Dover's town meeting is a proposal to ban drinking on private property that is in view of a school, playground, or park. Under the measure, Dover Police could confiscate alcohol, issue a $200 fine, and arrest drinkers who defy the law.
After opposition from residents worried that Big Brother was stomping into their yards, town selectmen now plan to withdraw the proposal, rather than have it debated at the meeting.
Yeah, forget the lies, wars, lootings, and other outrages upon you, AmerKa!
But LAWD ALL MIGHTY, do not threaten the BOOZE!!!!!
"The way it was worded may have given some people the idea we would have been going out riding around, saying, 'Hey! There's a guy with a beer in his pocket! Tackle him!' " said Dover Police Chief Joseph G. Griffin.
That was not what Griffin had in mind, he insists. He proposed the ban to give police a tool to break up disruptive adult parties. It originally accompanied a measure that would have let police arrest anyone who smokes marijuana in public....
So what the voters voted for really didn't mean shit, huh?
All of which begs the question: Are raucous parties endemic in Dover? Not exactly. The rural town of 6,000 less than 14 miles from Boston is one of the state's wealthiest enclaves. "There was no particular problem," Griffin acknowledged.
Then WTF?
Why the NEED for the EXCESS TYRANNY?
