Did the Springbok fan break any laws?

While speaking to Briefly News, an individual working for the traffic department stated that after looking at the city's bylaws, a section focusing on streets and public places doesn't discuss the 'supply' of liquor, whether in a public space or road. The person noted that it was an offence to supply to minors, and that the bylaw only speaks about consuming in a public space.

When the source checked for laws and regulations relating to liquor, they noted that traffic officials can only enforce "being drunk and disorderly in a public space."

Briefly News asked how traffic officers would typically respond to such incidents as played out by the Springbok fan, and the expert shared:

"Officers may react once they see the passengers, or, of course, the driver, consume the liquor, then they would be in breach of the bylaws or regulations for consuming liquor in a public space."
