Wasn’t Oscar’s trashcan basically a TARDIS without its dematerialization circuit?(turns out banana peels aren’t that good for the electronics). It’s a lot bigger on the inside. ---

> [@doreen](#): > > But it’s not illegal in NY to carry an unbagged bottle or can of alcohol and if a cop is going to ticket or arrest you for having a bottle of alcohol in your back pocket or carrying a six pack , they will have to write the ticket or other paperwork for something that is actually illegal. Sorry, this is the last of this hijack. In NYC we have what we call “open container laws”. The law is to stop people from consuming alcohol in public, which is definitely illegal. But a cop only has to think you’re gonna drink that bottle in public to give you a ticket. I’m sorry for this hijack but it is really getting under my nerves that all these white people are questioning my experience of how shitty it can be being black in the USA.
