They need to make under-age drinking a felony and be done with it.
That way a serious dialogue can happen.
These local governments create laws that result in serious charges and repercussions, but by keeping them as misdemeanors the laws don't have to pass the scrutiny of a jury trial.
Also, the ways the laws are written you are automatically guilty if you pass certain criteria and the sentence is mandatory.
Stupid.
15 cars and 87 arrests seems excessive to say the least . . glad the town is quiet enough that there wasn't any real crime going on.
