?? St. Patrick's Day: Celebrate Responsibly — Know the Law ???? St. Patrick's Day is a time for fun, but if your celebration involves alcohol, make sure you have a safe plan to get home. Louisiana's DWI laws are no joke — and a festive night can quickly turn into serious legal trouble. ? Louisiana Revised Statute 14:98 defines Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) as operating any vehicle with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher — and even lower for drivers under 21. ? Penalties range from fines and license suspension to jail time, especially if someone is injured. ? Open Container Laws (La. R.S. 32:300) also make it illegal to have open alcohol containers in your vehicle, even if you're parked. ?? This St. Patrick's Day, plan ahead — use a rideshare, designate a sober driver, or rely on public transportation. Your safety — and the safety of others — depends on it. If you or a loved one faces a DWI charge, FCJ LAW is here to help. We know Louisiana law — and we know how to protect your rights. #StPatricksDay #CelebrateResponsibly #DWI #LouisianaLaw #FCJLaw #SafeDriving #KnowYourRights

?? Did you know? If you're bringing a ladder to get a better view of the parades, you must place it at least 6 feet back from the curb—it's not just a courtesy, it's the law! Why does this rule exist? ?? Safety First – Keeping ladders away from the street prevents accidents and keeps parade routes clear. ?? Protecting Spectators – Crowded areas make it easy for ladders to tip over, which can cause injuries. ?? Avoiding Fines – City regulations enforce the 6-foot rule, and violations can result in penalties. Bonus Tip: Secure your ladder properly and never leave children unattended while using one. ?? Stay informed, follow the rules, and let the good times roll—safely!
