at a particular nightclub which was advertised as 18+, showed my legal government issued I.D. and went inside. 10 minutes later police raided the bar and discovered that 21 year olds had been purchasing alcohol and consuming it in the same room as the minors. as a result they kicked out the 21 year olds, and placed all 117 remaining minors under arrest for 1. loitering at a bar, and 2. possesion of alcohol by a minor. Now the club was well adverstised as being 18+ and I paid to enter. Does the loitering charge make sense? Secondly, no officer can have claimed to see me touching any alcohol, nor was I ever at a table with alcohol present. Finally, while I do not doubt that minors were drinking, it is my belief that they had wrongfully obtained wristbands, as I had not seen anyone with a wristband drinking. Can they arrest 117 people on the same charges, even when they know only a small minority partook in the action, and wouldnt go through any process to determine who did?
