I believe I was falsely arrested for Open Container & Public Consumption by the city of Hoover, Alabama under ordinance 3-1.
I was not on the highways or byways when observed by the officers.
No officers followed me because I was not driving.
My vehicle was parked with the motor running.
I was in the parking area of my apartment complex, which was on private property and was three blocks from the nearest public road.
No one saw me drinking the beer.
I was inside of a car and not walking around.
The open container was found on the floorboard between my legs.
All of the above was stated in the officers' complaint.
I believe that I was charged with a crime that is only enforceable if I was on the highways or byways and not if I'm on private property.
What Alabama laws makes it clear that I did not commit a crime since I was not driving or parked on a public highway or byway?
What Alabama cases make it clear that I did not commit a crime since I was not driving or parked on a public highway or byway?
