Cops bust teen (root) beer keg party

[MindPilot]

WAUSAU, Wis. – Cars lining the street. A house full of young people. A keg and drinking games inside. Police thought they had an underage boozing party on their hands.

But though they made dozens of teens take breath tests, none tested positive for alcohol. That's because the keg contained root beer.

Nearly 90 breath tests were done, and officers even searched locked rooms for hiding teens.

2. It took the cops 90 breath tests and a warrantless search

to figure out there was no alcohol?!

I grew up in a completely different era. The cops came only becaus we got too loud and they NEVER set foot in the door. We had rights back then.

8. Teen don't know their rights.

I'm sure someone let the cops in. They should have politely told them to get a search warrant.

10. DONT TASE ME BRO!

kids should be on a leash when not locked up in the yard.

3. I was once arrested for drinking Near Beer

Bay City, Texas, mid-60s.

Riding down the street and drinking non-alcoholic beer out of those ubiquitous (at the time) OPG bottles.

Hauled our young asses off to jail. Charged us with "promoting delinquency". Tried to make me cut my hair to get out of jail.

4. My kid got nailed for drinking ginger beer when he was 14.

I told the cop that I had raised him to be a lot smarter than that. "Trust me, if he was walking down the street drinking a real beer, he sure as hell wouldn't be doing it from a brown bottle."

5. Priorities...

and easy busts.

We had this crazy Sheriff who lived on a road along Sargent's Beach, a popular surfing area - although quite remote back then.

And we used to drive him crazy.

He once ripped open the side door of my van in the middle of the night and bellowed, "Look here, TomInTib! You can smoke your pot, take your acid, and screw all the hippie chicks you want. Just DO NOT speed up and down my road!".

I was doing all three of the above at that very moment.

11. LOL!! Those were the days, my friend, those were the days...

and the nights!

I feel sorry for young adults today since fun has been criminalized.
