They currently do this in oregon and it is horrible. the cops do show up and htey will ruin you for giving a kid some beer. Booooo to prohibition. Go Beavers
You are the idiot! If you raise enough hell the neighbors call then you should expect to see the men in blue. Otherwise, the police have other things to do besides getting names off of keg registration logs before hand.
And your quote about being governed by a group of idiots I suspect some day you will be one of us. Hopefully you will at least moved on to another town.
