For purposes of this section, the term "public place" means an
<b>area open to the public and includes</b> <i>streets, sidewalks, bridges,
alleys, plazas, parks, driveways, front yards, parking lots,
automobiles, whether moving or not, and buildings open to the general
public, including those that serve food or drink, or provide
entertainment, and the doorways and entrances to buildings or
dwellings.</i>
I am not sure but this mat be a loophole in the CA. law.
