pick out a random sample, yes, thats how we should practice law enforcement, for sure. As for facebook, you have every right to control what goes on there, and its public if you don't go in and change the preferences yourself. No, it is in no way fair to assume that red cups always contain alcohol, and I admire the point these kids made. But as for blaming facebook? Let me ask: who created the pages? Who posts the pictures? Who has the ability to control everything and anything that is associated with your name? Thats right, all of you, the users. So any of you blaming the system, blaming facebook, blaming "the man" or the cops, how about you step back and realize that you all control everything you do, and that includes facebook.

The cops also did have a right to come into the house, especially if it was called in. If, from the oustide of the house, the cops could plainly see any evidence of what looked like underage drinking inside the house, they have the right by law and court precedent to enter the house, so long as they do not search anything that is beyond plain view. Breathalyzing falls under this as well. Its not a stereotype that led them to search the house. Police have the right to conduct a search in situations where the crime/evidence could be gone by the time a warrant is obtained, such as searching a car, when given probable cause. In the case of underage drinking, seeing a keg inside a house full of underage people is enough probable cause to at least enter the house and ensure that no crime was taking place, or so i would assume.
