Rootbeer Madness!

Police thought they had an underage boozing party on their hands.

But though they made dozens of teens take breath tests, none tested
positive for alcohol. That's because the keg contained root beer.

The party was held by a high school student who wanted to show that
teens don't always drink alcohol at their parties.
...
Dustin Zebro, 18, said he staged the party after friends at D.C. Everest
High School got suspended from sports because of pictures showing them drinking
from red cups.
...
Nearly 90 breath tests were done, and officers even searched locked rooms for hiding teens.



Drinking from red cups is a suspendable offense? Drinking from red cups is probable cause to demand breath tests and room searches?

And didn't it occur to a single officer to smell what was coming out of the keg before they demanded 90 breath tests?

Welcome to the U.S.S.A.
