There was one cop (military or federal, I forget which) who posted on here about arresting people under the "open container" law when they had a six-pack or 12-pack with several cans missing. He was adamant about arguing his interpretation of Texas law.

But unopened? I agree completely with JP171. Sounds like ignorance or a power trip. Those arguments are never won at the side of the road, so I would certainly comply with a "yes sir, no sir" demeanor. Then I would follow up with a written complaint with the police force in question. The complaint would not be intended to reprimand the officer, the complaint would be for the police brass to properly educate and train their officers.
