hows about leaving the kids alone?

a cop stops a kid driving a car and finds a bottle of beer. kid gets busted, but the cop has to prove probable cause.

now a cop has the pretense of stopping a teenager "to give him a prize", finds the beer, and the bust sticks.

it's a pretext for going on fishing expeditions with young drivers. the constitution has clauses to protect us from arbitrary ssearches and seizures. this is designed purely as a pretext to get around this.
