Undercover Stings Under Fire: Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control to Review Officer Policies
How Virginia ABC goes after underage purchases could change, following the arrest of University of Virginia student who was buying a case of water.

Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control officials will review their policies after a 20-year-old buying bottled water was accosted by agents who thought she was buying beer, the Daily Progress reports.

The University of Virginia student was buying a 12-pack of sparkling water and leaving the Charlottesville grocery store when ABC agents approached her out of uniform, the progress reports.

The student, Elizabeth Daly, panicked and drove off because she did not recognize the agents as officers, the newspaper reported. The woman was initially charged with three felonies, but those charges were later dropped.

ABC regulators may start requiring a uniformed police officer to accompany plainclothes officers during these operations to nab underage drinkers, the Washington Post reports.

The incident prompted phone calls, tweets, and emails of complaint to ABC headquarters in Richmond.

Even though the charges were dropped, the fact she was charged with three of them should result in punitive damages. This story is so full of fail. If you listen to the audio when the agent speaks with the dispatch officer, they're so smug about their inept operation.

Is the VABC unionized? They sound like my kind of people and could certainly benefit from unionization. As could my wallet.

The best description of an Alcohol Beverage Control Agent...

Picture a Virginia State Trooper assigned to the Northern Virginia area and then picture that same Trooper as a schizophrenic lobotomy patient. Seriously, they's F'ed up.

Yes thats what we need more cops assigned to a stake out of under aged beer buying.

Heres an idea how about hiring some people with a brain instead who wouldnt have acted like they were taking down Osama.

If they want to make sure this doesnt happen again all they have to do is fire the agents. If agents started to think theyd be held accountable for their actions they would think twice before blowing things out of proportion like that. That and those idiots already proved they cant be trusted to have that type of power so they should be fired anyway.

State Troopers arent going to want any part of baby sitting this.
