State and local police departments have conducted a number of underage drinking stings around the area since the beginning of the year. Troopers in Rensselaer checked over a dozen establishments that serve alcohol, including restaurants, liquor stores, gas stations and beverage centers.
In each case, a plain clothes officer is present when one or more underage operatives enter the business and attempt to purchase alcohol. The operatives are not 21 and are not permitted to lie about their age if asked or provide any kind of false identification. Therefore, placing all liability on the establishment to check and confirm the age of the patron.
