  California Vehicle Code 23223:
  
  
    Possession of Open Container in Motor Vehicle
    
    (a) No driver shall have in his or her possession, while in a motor
    vehicle upon a highway or on lands, as described in subdivision (b) of
    Section 23220, any bottle, can, or other receptacle, containing any
    alcoholic beverage that has been opened, or a seal broken, or the
    contents of which have been partially removed.
    
    (b) No passenger shall have in his or her possession, while in a motor
    vehicle upon a highway or on lands, as described in subdivision (b) of
