Since when can the prosecute the underaged person attempting to buy alcohol?

There was no illegal action done, you basically just asked if you can buy the beer. In Cali the STORE would get a $10,000 fine and the person if they sold it to you would have 6months-1year in jail I think. Either way you didn't do anything illegal. Shenanigans?

4) you never bought the alcohol so there is no alcohol or possesion of it in your crime.

5) you will most likely just get the little lying about age thing. which will probably get reduced to nothing.

Really? If the officer asked his age and he lied it would make sense but I'm pretty sure you can go around telling people your as old or young as you like.

If he did purchase the beer and a cop asked to see ID after the transaction, then yes the OP and the seller would both in trouble.

on the secound point, i guess i was wrong... well half wrong. Cops at least where im from can only write tickets and arrest people if they are payed with a yearly salary. I know my friend, who is a cop, cant ticket or arrest while offduty because he is payed hourly.

Citizens arrests only pertain to felonies.



But like i said the OP should not of self incriminated himself by showing his ID. He also shouldnt of gone with the off duty cop without seeing any identification.

I just graduated college for Criminal Justice, I used to think like many of you on this forum- that if you aren't read your rights the case gets thrown out as stated this is not true. They do not have to read you your rights unless they start asking incriminating questions.

"The kid didnt buy the booze, no money changed hands, therefore he did not commit a crime."- The simple act of him attempting to buy the alcohol is enough to have him arrested, it's called Intent. He intended to purchase something he could not legally obtain. It's called Mens Rae (thinking about committing crime) and Actus Reus (acting upon the thought of committing)

"Cops at least where im from can only write tickets and arrest people if they are payed with a yearly salary. I know my friend, who is a cop, cant ticket or arrest while offduty because he is payed hourly."- Where do you live? Any off-duty officer is able and expected to make an arrest if he or she is viewing a crime taking place as long as it is safe to do so.

"Citizens arrests only pertain to felonies."- This is not true, shoplifting is a misdemeanor but a citizen can make a citizens arrest, the only thing they have to worry about is if they have the right perp, or they could be sued for false imprisonment.

Looks like you caught a break with you riding in his SUV instead of squad car. After an officer makes an arrest they sweep through the whole car to make sure the person they arrested did not drop their "goods" in the vehicle. Depending on your state law and the amount of marijuana you have on you, the cop usually just takes the stash and you don't get charged for it. They will never fingerprint something like that by the way. The only time they would take the time to fingerprint something like that is at a crime scene, they would not waste time or resources of searching for someone who had possessed the marijuana, it is either in holding or they already smoked it.
