REGARDING:
“Bonnie is a good friend and she didn’t know he wasn’t under 21 so she shouldn’t have been arrested for this.”

I’m sure she’s a wonderful person and I wish her well, but part of her job is to KNOW that he IS 21 or over, not to NOT know he’s under 21. When she said she knew the person and had carded him, it looks like she lied to officers trying to do their jobs. That probably hurts their feelings.

AND
“And if he had no ID, how do they know he’s who he says he is?”

Please consider what they reported: They identified him as being 20 years old. That is not the same as saying he had no identification. They are especially inclined to check when the driver nearly runs into them.

After all, if the driver’s careless about running into deputies, how careful is he likely to be about running into lesser people like you and me?

In fact they reported everybody in the car was under age, so they couldn’t have just misidentified the buyer. There was NO legal alcohol buyer in the car.

Bonnie is a good friend and she didn’t know he wasn’t under 21 so she shouldn’t have been arrested for this. They need to be looking for the under age guy who bought it. And id he had no I’D how do they know he’s who he say’s he is? And why issue a warrent? why didn’t they arrest him on the spot? If he had no I’D he probably had no licence either.

@Bill
Thank you I was beginning to think everyone just missed the point.
EVERYONE needs to learn to respect every law we have or change it,
but until then, they need to enforce every single one no matter how
small you think it is. THIS OFFICER MAY HAVE JUST SAVED THESE
THREE YOUNG LIVES, OR THE LIFE OF ONE OF YOUR KIDS…………..

I THANK THIS ESCO FOR DOING HIS DUTY

REGARDING:
“carrie was probably just kidding around lighten up dude”

I assumed she was, Riley, doesn’t mean the problems associated with the thought can’t be considered. (I just hope I mentioned them before the evidence disappeared.)

The second part really is serious, though. I used to know a man who was missing his leg. He explained his brother-in-law blew it off one time when they were both drinking. I mentioned I’d stay around from him. He explained No, they worked together. They just headed in opposite directions whenever either started drinking. Neither could consider not drinking.

always wondered why we have these “adult ” establishments, serving up ‘adult” beverages and no kids are allowed. just makes the kids want to do it all the more, so they could be “adults”. i have nothing against alcohol in moderation, but why do we as a society, feel the need to go somewhere our children cannot? what does that say about us as a species?
