The alleged offense: Although the bar owners had bought the beer legally from licensed Pennsylvania distributors and had paid all the necessary taxes, the police claimed that nobody had registered the precise names of the beers with the state Liquor Control Board - a process that requires the brewers or their importers to pay a $75 registration fee for each product they want to sell in Pennsylvania. Guess abbreviations don't count?
To: bamahead
Pennsylvania, of course. One would expect no different.

In fact, according to Maida, more than half the beer removed by the State Police was properly registered - but the cops couldn't find it on their lists because of "clerical errors" or "blatant ineptitude" between the police and the Liquor Control Board, with whom the officers were conferring by telephone. Procedural crime. Meanwhile they let the crackhouses down the road in any direction go undisturbed.
The bar owners won't get violent as a crack addict or dope dealer might. And they have "$7,000" in beer so they should be good for upwards of $10,000 in revenue ticket fines.

La Torre said that the beer would be kept in a secured location, as evidence, until the case is resolved, probably in six to eight months. Refrigerated?
Maybe they can use the city morgue.

People forget it was the IRS that took down the bootleggers, damn revenuers.
If my family started their own still to make ethanol for runnign thier vehicles, how long before the Revenuers would show up to cart them all to jail?

She added: "It's McCarthy-like. They swarm in here and confiscate this product because they don't know what the product is." That has NOTHING to do with Joe McCarthy or Communist "witchhunts" (which found REAL Communists).
How about Gore-like? Seizing all filament lightbulbs and low flow toilets even though it won't aid the climate one bit.

Totally absurd. Big Government (at all levels) is cumulatively destroying this nation. Every year more taxes and regulations.

Maida said that the couple's attorney had told them that they have until 6 p.m. tonight to compile evidence to prove that the confiscated beer is properly registered. "The onus is on us to prove our innocence," she said. Such is our legal system today.

This is in Philly. They must have forgotten the monthly kickback.

People put up with all kinds of fees and restrictions on their intoxicants out of fear big brother will take them all away again if they don't behave . You are expected to be grateful .
