you can be moved on at any time if you are wildcamping.
all land belongs to some-one in the uk so technically you would be traspassing.
chances are, if you park up sensibly...ie out of sight, dont put BBQs, chairs, tables etc out and dont stay for days on end then you wont be bothered by the authorities.
if the police come a-knocking and you're ready for bed, curtains/blinds drawn etc, then talk to them in a civil and polite manner and they'll probably just say dont be here tommorow.
if they do insist on you moving then explain you've had a drink and you cant move on unless they authorize you to drink drive. that aint gonna happen
as far as being drunk in charge of a vehicle....if the above is followed re..chairs etc, then i doubt they would arrest you. they are human after all !!!!![/I]

Obviously you're not from the UK!!!!
Have you seen the announcement from the Dorset Police today, ZERO TOLERANCE for all motorists AND passengers.
I know of someone that has just had 3 points for having an open can of coke within reach of the driving seat. (driving without due care) They pulled him over as ANPR showed no insurance, after a phonecall they found out the van was insured, so the merry people found something else to do him for:Blush:

The conversation went something like, "have you been drinking from that whils't on the move" he answered yes, he was all of a panic at the thought of having his van towed away. A letter has gone in to the police on reflection and he is intending on fighting it. Just goes to show how some officers do there job, he was unlucky 99% of officers probably wouldn't of booked him.

I certainly don't want to have somebody coming towards me who is drinking from a can instead of driving properly.

So, on the evidence the police had at the time (an admission) he was apparently not in control of the vehicle at all times and could have caused a crash.
Would 99% really not have booked him? Would we want 99% not to book him? I certainly don't want to have somebody coming towards me who is drinking from a can instead of driving properly.

Graham, your posts are normally so sensible that I wonder if someone has taken over your computer for this one?Would 99% really not have booked him? Would we want 99% not to book him? I certainly don't want to have somebody coming towards me who is drinking from a can instead of driving properly.
