Have done some googling on the issue, but it still seems quite unclear.
Am I right in thinking that the power of a policeman is to ask someone to stop drinking, confiscate their booze, and then arrest them if they fail to comply?
Let's say someone is sitting on a bench on the street or in the park and drinking nothing more than a beer or two with a friend. How likely is it that a policeman would have an issue with this? From what I've read, the restrictions on drinking in public are there to prevent anti-social drinking and anti-social behaviour, so how much of a problem is it to have a beer with a friend?
