  • When I was assaulted by an underage teen several years ago (17 y/o, son of a prominent local minister and high-school baseball coach), my attorney and I gathered evidence of underage drinking from his MySpace profile. All’s fair. I wonder if there’s more to it than this. Perhaps they wanted to get this kid on something because of other actions.

    (BTW: It was a waste of time pressing charges. I should have just pursued the civil case. After 6 months the juvenile records are sealed, and the kid is now in an Ivy League school–he even got a glowing letter of recommendation from the high school principal who was present when the kid confessed to the police for having assaulted me.)

  • Gosh officer, that wasn’t beer in those bottles. That amber liquid was the wholesome goodness of apple cider that we just happened to store in those bottles. Pretty green of us to reuse, errr… recycle bottles that we found outside the administration building….

  • I found a drug dealer on twitter, posting pics of her stash on twitpic.com (along with PGS coords from her phone) and the message “TXT4BIZNSS”.

    People this stupid deserve to be busted.

  • I wonder why the police tipped their hand. They could have just stayed on the lists and shown up to write dozens of tickets for underage drinking when party plans were posted. Seems a bit one sided that they were using women as “bait”, or did they pose as male models to bust the girls for underage drinking?

    Seriously though, the police have always done much worse than this, sending adults undercover into high schools to befriend and betray teenagers INRL. It’s not as if these types of tactics are unheard of, it’s just easier for the police to pretend to be member of someone’s peer group this way.

  • EB: You’re thinking of 21 Jump Street, that never happens in real life!
