Down here in south Alabama the law wouldn't mess with us about drinking a beer while cutting our yard. Now if you were at a customers house drinking (knowing you are going to drive afterwards) then there might be some trouble. If a cop messed with me in my yard I would race hell and open a law suit for harassement. That's just me though. Not saying that I drink and use my mower.

Now you are in court for the harassment suit who would win? Attorney Steve k is saying you won't in Illinois but is it differant in Alabama? I am on your side and really don't think the law should mess with you in your own lawn.

Here in Alabama it all depends on where you are. In Oxford you would go to jail for being drunk in public now go 20 miles east I bet you will see a cop drinking on his mower. My brother inlaw is a cop in GA and said they don't care as long as you don't bother any one

The afternoon got away from you and just maybe you just might of have a few too many of you favorite adult beverages. Now you want to mow your own lawn. Do you think that the law should be able come on your own land and give you a DWI or just what should the law be?

Stupid sh"t like that causes trouble for yourself or others and is the reason they keep making more and more laws to try to protect irrisponsible morons from themselves,wich by itself is a lost cause anyway cause stupid is as stupid does :rolleyes:

But hey,go ahead, get drunk en start mowing.
With a bit luck you only clip your toe nails.:tongue:

Woo I'm not the one to drink and mow, seeing we don't know each other maybe you are the one? I never said it was a smart thing to do. I am just saying too many laws. Just look at all the safety switches on the new mowers so we don't clip our toe nails we have to pay for and don't want. As soon as the drunks fall off the mower it will stop runing anyways so his toe nails will be safe. That is as long as he isn't useing my mower seeing I have the switches bypassed.

Oh No! the switches are bypassed. Here is a new question. Does the law have a right to come on your property and ticket you if they see your lawn mower running unattended?:laughing:

Please don't put the idea out there because some DO-GOODER get the idea in there head and it will be law. Lets keep going a little far-er I think we should have to wear a helmet and maybe a seatbelt.:thumbsup:

Hay now we are getting somewhere more money and red tape for our government. They could use the extra money to send someone around to make sure you have your seat belt on and wearing your helmet.
