[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1466865, member: 561023"] Considering it is pictoral evidence of a minor[I] possessing[/I] an item that is a violation of criminal statute(s) I'd say it would likely hold up in court fairly well. A music video falls under the same sort of categorization as a movie does in that respect where it is understood that any and all actions portrayed within are no more than the product of someone's imagination rather than factual occurences. This might be considered by some to be alchohol abuse but it isn't illegal (provided the person with the Hennessy is of age...) If the charge levied is Minor In Possession then the BAC of the individual or even if the drink was consumed or not is immaterial. Like any other age demographic (and to some extent worse than all others) teens in groups mixed with copious amounts of alchohol generally equate to mischief - sometimes illegal or just plain dangerous (if not both) Even if they don't [I]do[/I] anything but get hammered ~ should they be allowed to break the law just because they didn't hurt anybody? Do the crime, do the time. It really is that simple. No, I'm not claiming to be an angel or anything of the sort - I did some incredibly [B]dumb[/B] things as a teen that there's no explanation other than divine intervention that allowed the end results of said dumb things to be as painless as they were.
