If you're doing something illegal, don't be stupid enough to have photographic evidence of it and post it publicly.

That includes undersage drinking. Yes, you're going to do it, yes, I did it. But don't take indisputable evidence of it and show it to the world then get upset when you get busted.

Doesnt this once again show that What We consider Young Adults actually arent and need a guiding Hand?:(

So, where are the guiding hands?:(

Guiding hand? Try common sense.

Just like the idiots who videotape themselves committing a crime or other weird stuff.... if you're stupid enough to create even more evidence of your crime, you deserve to get caught and I can't feel sorry for you.

I still don't see how you can charge someone with anything, based on a photo. My favorite example is John Belushi chugging a bottle of Jack Daniels in Animal House...we have no proof that was Jack Daniels, it was just the same color. It could have been iced tea. The same with a picture of someone holding up a beer bottle to their lips - they may not have even drank from it! It may have been an old beer bottle from 1992! And don't even get me started on PhotoShop.

That's kind of like cops trying to give you a DUI 2 days after you drove home. It just doesn't wash, and if any of these students were smart enough to know their rights the schools wouldn't have a leg to stand on.

"As of 2005, 15 states do not specifically ban underage consumption and an additional 15 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage consumption laws. Federal law explictly provides for religious, medical, employment and private club possession exceptions; as of 2005, 31 states have family member and/or location exceptions to their underage possession laws. "

Each state is different supposedly so while the purchase of the alcohol might be illegal, the consumption may be legal.

lol that is funny. anyways, I personally have facebook and my space accounts, but I don't post anything that is illegal or stupid(okay, maybe a few pictures of friends and I downing a few, but not anything like streaking around campus naked or something). Just watch the stuff you post online and don't post anything that can be used against you (aka pix of puking, passed out, or whatever illegal stuff).

oh yeah. I'm in Grand Rapids, MI and this was in the news

clicky

I guess there are something to be learned here?

Apparently it is don't be involved in extracurricular activities and you cannot get in trouble at that school.
Honestly, unless is was a group gather specifically for an "extracurricular activity" then it is not the schools place to punish the students. It should be the parents who displine kids, but apparently like everything else the school has become the parent.

see I grew up outside of the US and it was quite common for the school to discipline kids(teacher can hit students, in fact, my own grand mother told my teacher that hitting is okay in her eyes) Anyways back to topic. People just have to watch what the put in the online sites because it is a PUBLIC forum and anyone can see it(unless only friends can see it or whatever). Still, I personally wouldn't put pictures like puking or passed out online, period.
