It shall be unlawful for the registered owner of any vehicle or the driver, if the registered owner is not then present in the vehicle, to keep in a motor vehicle when the motor vehicle is located in any area enumerated in §§ 6.44.010 and 6.44.020 of this chapter, any bottle, can or other receptacle containing any alcoholic beverage which has been opened, or a seal broken, or the contents of which have been partially removed, unless the container is kept in the trunk of the vehicle, or kept in some other area of the vehicle not normally occupied by the driver or passengers, if the vehicle is not equipped with a trunk. A utility compartment or glove compartment shall be deemed to be within the area occupied by the driver and passengers. This section shall, however, not apply to living quarters of a house, car, camper or motor home.
