They just open and dump out your beer. I don't think they actually try to fine anyone... well not at the places I go anyways.

I think they just dump it, thats what they would do when I was in highschool when I would actually drink on the beach.

One time the cop at whiterock broke our bottle of vodka on a big rock on the beach, I am not sure his logic to breaking a glass bottle where kids would play the next day, guess he wanted to impress us :p

If you mind your own business and don't attract attention, they wont bother you. Its the misbehaving yahoos they target. Act normal, put your beer in ginger ale bottles and drink away. No problem.

It starts with yahoos like the three on the news last night. You could tell they had a touch too much and drove off anyways with a "N" on his car, that was after one of the guys finished his beer then threw it on the ground, taser that AHOLE.

if you've been fined for drinking on the beach, how much was the ticket?

VPD Beach Patrol out keeping the seaside safe

VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - They say it's about keeping Vancouver beaches fun and safe for everyone. That's why Vancouver Police are patrolling the city's beaches seven days a week this year to keep rowdy people in line.

Inspector Ted Schinbein says people drinking on the beach will be dealt with by officers. He says you could even get a $115 fine, "Depending on your state of sobriety you could be arrested. We also have issues of glass on the beach, and we certainly don't want children walking around on broken glass."

People enjoying the sunshine at Jericho say they can understand why the police would be cracking down on partiers.

"It's a good thing just to keep an eye on things, but I would hate to see it overtake the beaches and get out of control."

"I think their just making sure people aren't driving drunk...and that's alright so..."

Police will also be dealing with illegal campfires, assaults, noise complaints and other shenanigans that can happen this summer.

if they're so worried about glass, they should just sell beer at the beach, served in plastic cups, and enforce their "no bottles allowed on beach" bylaw. I can't believe how stupid these things are. It's becoming a society where you can't do any of the things that make us human. And yes, that means being a bit noisy, drinking (does not mean getting drunk and becoming a yahoo!), socializing, etc.


Oh well, the more things go that way, the more we're getting close to being a society made up of drones with no critical thinking and no creative spirit.

I mean, if the city was a bit smart, they could sell it just a tad more expensive than buying your own at the liquor store and they could still rake in the profits. After all, booze is already so highly taxed.

And if they were just a bit smarter, they could use those profits to encourage / support summer activities, concerts, street performers, art, etc. People will still buy overpriced stuff! Just look at Starbucks, it's unbelievable!

At Wreck the dumping is for the users, (the pushers), the sellers ,they go after and prosecute. What a WOT.

I remember last year watching three of those poor beach cops ,fully clothed, bulletproof vests ,guns etc. ,dump out a few barleys of the group just in front of us. What a way to a way to spend a career in law enforcement, pouring out beer. A voice from the peanut gallery behind us summed up the situation quite succinctly when he yelled out,----------
"my neighbour sells crack."

Hey, SilkyFaggott, you've been tasered recently? Because it seems from your posts that you have a beef against the police use of tasers.

Did you cry like a little 7 year old girl when you were tasered...'cause that's a scene I'd PAY to see!:D

your mom says hi.
out at kits this weekend. saw the cops on their atv's and foot patrols, keeping the chaotic scene safe for all:rolleyes: all i can say is from what i saw all day, what a waste of time and resources.

if they want to curb drunk driving i have no problem with that. patrol the parking lot or something. leave the fucking people that work hard all week alone. we just want to enjoy ourselves.

and yes i did have a few beers on the beach yesterday, i brought cans cause i can understand glass not being wanted on the beach but i also poured it into a plastic cup. it has nothing to do with age or maturity, its just one of life's pleasures to enjoy a beer in the sun on the beach with friends.

vpd get your priorities straight.

1) Mix up a big ass batch of Caesars or Margarita's. 2)Put them in a cooler jug. 3) Get loaded 4) Take a cab home.
Rye in a coke bottle has served me well.

Seems? He's been pretty explicit about it. Not to mention, as dumb as he is, he still knows that police tazering people for not buying a skytrain ticket is against their policy.

To me, it is a sad indication of our society, that a mature responsible adult cannot enjoy a beer or two at the beach. As long as you are not drunk and being an idiot, you should be free to do what you want.
