The bottle is unopened.

How do you know the engine is on? Even if it is, it’s not illegal to have an unopened bottle in a car, even if you’re under age, at least if there’s a legal-aged person also in the car. (State laws might vary on this.)

Oh you big Silly

Laws for for litle people, like us. The laws that govern us little folk, don’t apply to our superiors. They are better than us, and don’t need laws to govern them. This comes when you are an Elite. Heck, did you know that if you are an Elite, you can murder a pregnant girlfriend, dump her body in a car off a bridge, and go party all night long .... and STILL not only hold an office in Congress, but also run for President?

Yeah, really. It’s good to be an Elite.

“US Rep. Conyers: Son inappropriately used vehicle”

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-ap-mi-congressionalvehi,0,2400987.story

What about possession of alcohol by a minor charges?

Could you imagine the furor if Sarah Palin’s minor children used government registered vehicles with alcohol?

This will probably be the only mention of this anywhere.

Not only is the engine on, it appears to be in Drive. Here is another image of an Escalade and you can see right above the trip computer is the gear indicator. Notice where the red indicator is on Conyer's photo and compare to this.

Conyers may be an @hole, but I’m not seeing much to make a fuss about this time. The bottle is still sealed, and the speedometer shows 0. Democrats and their miserable progeny do plenty of revolting stuff, but this doesn’t appear to be one of them.

Why on earth is a congressman provided with an Escalade? Do they all get one?

John Conyers III, 20, told police he had been driving the car on Nov. 24 when he left it for an hour only to return to find scratches on the side door and the interior in disarray, the website reported.

He didn't know his wife was soliciting and taking bribes when on the Detroit city council. The justice department was nice enough to accept his word that he was in no way involved which of course had nothing to do with him being chairman of the house judiciary committee. Somehow his wife was even provided with a lawyer by the taxpayers.

Now he doesn't know that his son is unlawfully using a government owned car.

The pictures of his son with alcohol in the vehicle show another instance of him inappropriately using the car. Since the bottle isn't open, and it is possible that an adult is present, I don't think they can go after him about the alcohol itself, but they can ask him some difficult questions about who was there that was over 21 and was it someone who should have known he shouldn't be using the car?

I think there has been more than enough evidence that Conyers needs to be investigated. Maybe he's only guilty of being a fool who married a crook and who is careless with not securing a government vehicle from his son. That alone should get him kicked off of the judiciary committee.

“...$27,000 worth of concert tickets.”

WTF? Either that is a lot of tickets or the concert features Janis Joplin, Jimmy Hendrix, Buddy Holly, Michael Jackson, with Elvis Presley headlining for 27 big ones.

Um...

Why does a congressman get a free luxury vehicle?

Anything suspicious about possessing $27k worth of ‘tickets’?....sounds like scalping or some other form of organised crime.

Conyers is 81. And his son is under 21? Just asking.

wow - I think the big issue here is what was conyers III doing with $27,000 dollars worth of concert tickets?

Who bought them? Was it a payoff?
