[Vision2020] MPD Press Release - Alcohol Citations

[Donovan Arnold]

Dan,
 
I fail to see the connection between entrapment of trying to get 18-21 year olds to give a beer to another 18-20 year old, and reduced incidents of underage drinking accidents at one UI tailgate party, which they should be monitoring anyway with nightly patrols on campus.
 
Again, this is a waste of money entrapping college students. There are more effective ways and less hostile ways of reducing underage drinking.

PS, Dan, do people still butcher the pronunciation of your last name now that you are on the Council? :P

Donovan (and vizzz peeps),
 
Last fall (2008) Moscow Ambulance responded to the Kibbie Dome parking lot for some underage drunken student who had an injury of some form or another at almost every home game, and a few were pretty serious.  MPD’s presence this year, along with rules closing down tailgating in the student areas at kickoff time, greatly diminished our need to respond.  I don’t think we had any calls for incidents with overzealous tailgaters this year.
 
To me, that’s not a waste.

I hate it when police do these types of entrapment schemes.

 

I understand the police need to break up high school parties with drugs and alcohol, but this tagging 18-21 year olds at college parties for giving a beer to someone they have reason to believe is of age doesn't help anyone and is a total waste of taxpayer money at a time when taxpayer funds is very limited.

 

I think this time and money would be better spent writing jaywalking warning tickets. Or spending time safety patrolling the UI Campus.

 

Your Friend,
