undercover agents from the state's Alcohol Beverage Control division mistook her water purchase for beer

the agents—six men and one woman, all in plainclothes—approached suspecting the box, a blue carton of LaCroix sparkling water, to be a 12-pack of beer. One jumped on the hood of her SUV; another pulled out a gun

"They began trying to break the windows. My roommates and I were ... terrified"

The students called 911 as they left the parking lot

agents arrested Daly and charged her with two counts of assaulting a law enforcement officer and one count of eluding police—each carrying a maximum penalty of five years in prison and $2,500 in fines

If an officer is not wearing identifiable attire when approaching someone in an aggressive manner IMO a person has the right to go into a defensive posture. That can mean running as well. COPs need to loose their military garb and stop the undercover nonsense on what was at best a low level crime. If the stooges wanted to bust kids buying beer fine. Have a uniformed officer nearby to approach them for arrest. STOOGES!!! Use some common sense. They Screwed Up. Where's their discipline?

If Miss Daly and her parents were of a certain turn of mind, they might contemplate a lawsuit that would get her tuition paid for.

Neoprohibition is here.

But soon the kiddos will be able to buy pot without prosecution/persecution. Can’t “end the drug war” and still hassle minors for buying marijuana. It just continues the underground economy.

But draconian laws against alcohol use have increased without challenge.

Same with the restrictions on tobacco use.

Light up a doobie and live in the new Libertarian utopia.
