  1. Across the street from a school.

    Maybe a teacher complained?

  2. Maybe keeping a watchful eye on heroin distribution would be more productive.

  3. **Don’t cops have better things to do?**

    Better than enforcing the law?

    If you don’t like the law, try to change it. But its the job of the cops to enforce it.

  4. wow dave, hope you never do anything that is “illegal”. If every single law on the books was “enforced” you might be surprised how illegal you are.

  5. So are some of you advocating for youth smoking?

    Tobacco compliance checks are a thing, just like alcohol compliance checks.

    Or maybe we shouldn’t enforce underage drinking laws either?

  6. ** If every single law on the books was “enforced” you might be surprised how illegal you are.**

    So, I’m curious. How, exactly, should the police choose which laws to enforce and which laws to ignore?

  7. Everyone commenting here is right.

    Why should this become a smack down?

    Arguing moral values or focusing on petty laws doesn’t seem to choosing your battles wisely.

  8. Ok, Cindy.

    You are right.

    We should let store owners sell a deadly addictive substance to minors.

  9. Wondering if this violation of allowing the sale of cigs to a minor effects this mans other job of driving a bus full of minors…
