U.S. Laws
As a guest in the Unites States you are expected to follow all of the laws and regulations and you are subjected to
all consequences for violations.
- Below you will find some highlighted offenses that you will want to avoid:
- Underage drinking
- Drinking alcohol in Public Places
- Drug Possession
- Disturbing the Peace
- Disorderly Conduct (talking back to the police)
- Destruction of Property
- Shoplifting or Theft
- False Identification
- The U.S. police can be very strict and you are expected to take responsibility for any crimes or violations which you commit.
Alcohol
You must be 21 years old to drink alcohol legally in the United States. If you are found with alcohol and you are
under 21, you may be arrested and expected to pay a fine. If you are over 21 but provide alcohol to anyone under the
age of 21, you can also be arrested and expected to pay a fine.
Drinking alcohol in public such as on public beaches or on a public street is prohibited in many places. You could be
expected to pay a fine if you are found guilty.
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or
Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
DWI/DUI laws are very strict. If you are found guilty you will be arrested, spend the night in jail and you could be
fined up to $5,000. When going out as a group be sure to either appoint a "designated driver" who will refrain from
drinking alcoholic beverages and who will drive the rest of the group to and from their destination or plan on
alternative transportation options such as a taxi.
Drugs
Illegal use or possession of controlled substances (drugs) in the USA is subject to prosecution by law. The penalties
for drug possession vary from state to state and region to region. If you are found guilty of use, possession or
association with people who have drugs themselves, you could be fined in addition to spending time in jail.
Smoking
Smoking is not permitted in many office buildings, restaurants and when using public transportation. If you smoke,
be sure to note any "no smoking" signs.
