Booze me!

Watch your shoulder.

One common criticism of shoulder tap operations is that they do not help solve the problem because they target individuals who may not regularly furnish alcohol to minors.

How common is that criticism? If it really is common, it's time to lose faith in humanity. How is that criticism? I'm genuinely curious.

A central tenet of the state grant program is to involve the media, who on Friday were invited to ride along with department investigators and police in an effort to widen the public's exposure to the operations.

Local TV cameras rolled and photos were snapped from behind tinted windows as adults accepted money from the minor outside Pic N Pac Liquor and exchanged the alcohol in a parking lot behind the store.

The media folk must be very proud of being used like that.

Don't stop buying minors beer, just ask them if they're the police/with the police before you do it. They're not allowed to lie, so you'll know if it's safe or not. Also, don't do the exchange in public, that's just stupid.

I support furnishing alcohol with minors and will be happy to continue to do so. I will also do my part by educating all of my friends on the safest way to furnish minors with alcohol, which is good.

Umm... dude... that's about as urban legendy as urban legends get. Why don't you think police (or folks who act under their supervision) can lie?
