Your tax dollars at work...jail time for selling beer...

[Missourian]

This is where your law and justice money is being squandered while real crimes against people and property go unsolved for lack of resources.

These two citizens are facing felony charges and a possible 12 months in jail for bootlegging after they drove from Minnesota to Wisconsin and bought 10 kegs of a very popular regional microbrew at full retail cost and transported it back to Minnesota to serve in their licensed tavern:

“The two men bought the beer in Wisconsin, which is legal,” he wrote. “They brought it back across the border to Minnesota, which is legal … as long as you don’t re-sell the product. They served it in a bar that has a license to sell beer in Minnesota, which is also legal. And even though those three things are legal in the abstract, when you put them together it is a recipe for a felony offense.”

Good thing it was beer instead of single cigarettes. Cops would have choked them to death.
