Steven Loge was stopped by police for speeding. During the stop, police found an open beer bottle under the passenger seat of the truck Loge was driving. Loge was charged with violating a statute prohibiting open containers of alcohol in vehicles. The trial court found Loge had "absolute liability" under the statute and did not require proof of knowledge of the open container. The appellate court affirmed, stating knowledge was not required. The state Supreme Court also affirmed, finding the statute unambiguously did not require knowledge as an element of the offense in order to protect society. The court reasoned that by taking control of the truck, Loge took control of all contents, including the open bottles.

PRECEDENT AS A SOURCE OF LAW (SAIF JAVED).pptxOmGod1
Precedent, or stare decisis, is a cornerstone of common law systems where past judicial decisions guide future cases, ensuring consistency and predictability in the legal system. Binding precedents from higher courts must be followed by lower courts, while persuasive precedents may influence but are not obligatory. This principle promotes fairness and efficiency, allowing for the evolution of the law as higher courts can overrule outdated decisions. Despite criticisms of rigidity and complexity, precedent ensures similar cases are treated alike, balancing stability with flexibility in judicial decision-making.
