Yea lets just forget about laws
Or lets just enforce them fairly and consistantly. My girlfriend was busted in a sting for this, and I was with. I was 20, but we had my brothers girlfried in the car who was 17. All the did was take the alcohol to the station, and said that we could pick it up on Monday at the station. No ticket, no nothing, but getting it away from the "true minor" I've gotten caught multipiple times with "fake minors" (18-21 yr olds) and they just make you dump it, and have the party break up, or make the "fake minors" leave.
I don't see how, if there aren't other charges for bundrage, that this makes any sense to cuff and stuff him. I hate to pull the hawkeye card, but something stinks here. Unless there is more, this is a non-issue. I'm sure it will be front page of the hawk rag, but national press would laugh at it if there isn't more to it.
