Guy got put in jail till he sobered when he was on private property at someones house and there wasn't a public disturbance.

Several lawyers said they believe police have the authority to take inebriated people into custody, but they said it was the first time the law has been challenged on the grounds that one has a constitutional right to get drunk on private property.

Ya, I mean....how can the cops have the right to take someone to jail without something going on illegally?
