Under Penal Code 647 (f), does being in a private space influence the definition of public intoxication?

The correct understanding is that under Penal Code 647 (f), the definition of public intoxication focuses on the individual's behavior and condition in a public place, rather than the specific location being private or public. The law typically considers public intoxication as occurring when an individual is found in a public space and unable to exercise care for their own safety or the safety of others due to their level of intoxication. This means that simply being in a private space does not exempt an individual from being charged with public intoxication if they exhibit disruptive or dangerous behavior. Hence, the private nature of the space does not influence the determination of public intoxication as defined by the law. This is why the response that states "it does not matter" is accurate in the context of the legal definition provided by Penal Code 647 (f).
