Need Legal Advice or just tell me what you would do

[Fuzzypeach]

And tell his or her lordship the judge that

1) you meant no harm,
2) were just drying out wet gear, and
3) had no idea that just possessing unopened beers that you
4) had no intention whatever of drinking on the beach

could be offensive to the good townspeople of the wonderful town of [scrolls up to check name of town] Panama City, your honor.

If the beers were warm from being in your pack, mention this (#5 for those counting at home).

Because i went to law school and once passed a bar exam (though not in Florida!), i must state that this post, and my other posts here, are not intended as, or a substitute for, legal advice, and that you, and all other readers, should always seek competent legal advice from a person admitted to the bar(s) of the state(s) involved before doing, or failing to do, anything whatsoever.

Good luck!

Yup. Mitigation.
