This is actually a good point. Many Wisconsin rest stops and parks do not have trash containers, and the expectation is that you take your trash with you. Also, it may not even have been his beer. It could have been a passenger's or someone elses. Who knows, maybe he was being a good citizen and picked up a can that he found in the parking lot at his "last stop" and was going to throw it away. I'm thinking that if I had to carry my trash out from the last park I was at, there's a pretty good chance it would find a resting place in the trash can at the next gas stop.

Why anyone would operate a motor vehicle and drink alcohol (regardless of the amount) is beyond me. Having a beer can in your hand while next to your vehicle is enough to give any cop a reason to look your way. You can be upset all you want, but it seems to me you set yourself up for this.

Prudish or a loser you say...no just someone whose father was killed by someone who thought he was ok to drive.
You have a nice day

As for the comments about turning in our "man card", since OP refuses to take his medicine (pay the fine he rightfully deserved to get) it seems like OP should do the same and turn in his.
If you're man enough to do the crime, then don't try to sissy your way out of it when you get caught!
