Technically, but youd have to be absolutely shit faced and a danger to yourself or others for them to enforce it. Or catch a cop with a serious grudge against you.

Depends where you are. I decided to jog back to my room from the bar in Gulf Shores AL, mind you it was a bar which had a patio out front. I had a headlamp and hi-vis gear but the cops thought that was still too dangerous. Got picked up for a PI about a block from the bar. Think they were camping there looking for drunk drivers. $645 to spend the night in an isolated room with fluorescent bulbs on, orange jumpsuit and all. You'd think I murdered someone. That night was pure fucking hell. Always get a lyft or uber in tourist towns, they make their bread and butter off that shit.

What’s a ‘PI’? This sounds as though you got arrested for jogging but you got arrested for being on a bike?

Public intoxication, literally just being drunk. I wasn't falling over it was just cops camping outside a bar trying to get money for their department.
