    Is it illegal to have alcohol under a backseat? Is it evidence of anything except having alcohol under a seat?

    Probably an open container, which would be illegal in a car, at least in amerikkka

      at least in states I’m familiar with you can have say, a partial bottle of liquor but it has to be inaccessible to the driver and not in the passenger area of the vehicle (so in the trunk or behind the back seats). Under the back seat is probably in violation of that depending on the vehicle.

      Previously opened containers of alcohol (gin w screw top bottle, recorked wine,etc) are legal but must be carried in the trunk or locked glovebox.

      Those are the rules in Texas. Other states vary in specifics but the general sentiment is usually the same.

      Technically OP is breaking the laws of the state I live in by having a bottle of alcohol under the seat as opposed to a trunk but it’s very much legal to carry one.

      unless you’re rich. rolls royces and shit come with a bar built in

      but if you’re driving completely sober while your boy drinks a white claw in the back seat, say goodbye to your license, your honda civic, and your job
