People are oppressing others “right” to drink now? Where’s your evidence for any of this? In my “rich” neighborhood cops stop people all the time for drinks in the park or glass bottles on the beach. I often trick myself into thinking that things that I have learned are well understood by society. But maybe not. Example: I was stopped for non-working taillights when I was a late teen. I was let go with a warning. I was also a white kid driving an unsuspecting handmedown car in the “wealthier” part of town. It’s easy to imagine a similar stop being leveraged to search a car and fish for drugs or other “criminal behavior” if I was a different race in a rough neighborhood with a lot of street crime. Spoiler: I had a joint in the biblebelt and it was ~1999-2000. I could have been arrested for sure.
