People are crying foul after SFPD had the unmitigated gall to hand out citations to people boozing it up in Dolores Park. Drinking alcohol in San Francisco parks, as most of you know, is verboten. No matter how many shows at Amnesia you've attended. No matter how often you prattle on about the salted caramel at Bi-Rite Ice Cream Shoppe. No matter how age-inappropriate your haircut and attire is. Drinking in public is illegal.

According to Dolores Park View, "Mission Station Chief, Steve Tacchini had issued new orders [Thursday] morning ordering the drinking in Dolores Park to be brought under control." So, people were busted yesterday for imbibing in the wrong place.

While your editor couldn't care less for Dolores Park as of late -- compared to the Wal-Mart-ish size and scope of DP, we prefer boutique parks like the bludgeoningly charming South Park, or that park on Folsom Street where men play basketball -- we know this affects many of you. That said, you can circumvent a pricey citation by putting your booze in awater bottle and/or ingesting your drug(s) of choice before setting up shop at the park. Ta-da.
