I call BS on this. I've heard of similar things happening and gullible kids being browbeaten into doing so, but "in my day" nobody except the driver of a vehicle that had been stopped would have taken the Breathalyzer. I happen to know of a couple of instances where the non-driving kids said "no" to LEOs (once as passengers in a car, another time as party goers) and made it stick.
Huh? That's pretty standard around here for vehicles. You CAN refuse the Breathalyzer. But they will drag you to the hospital to sunk blood out of you, or they just automatically revoke your license (AFAIK, only if you were the active driver, but that may not be true anymore).
For the house thing, problem is these kids probably didn't know to have ONE person walk outside, have the door locked after him, say "Good evening, may I see your warrant?" and then STFU. Really, they should be teaching that kind of thing in Civics class. Probably in middle school. Or hell, elementary school. Consider I've heard of more than one outlaw lemonade stand getting shut down. The ACLU printed up rather nifty wallet cards, back in college we used to pass them out to everyone. Some of the more cool cops bugged us for copies whenever they lost their copy.
So let me get this straight.
You support outright violence over alcohol enforcement, and that's A-OK.
But when I support peaceful political revolution you tell me that I am being a utopian?
You know what the police should, justifiably, call peaceful political revolutionaries? Target practice. Because that's really the only thing they are, most of the time. A live action target to test (usually) less lethal weapons on.
I will grant, minor and narrow scoped political reforms are entirely possible through peaceful political protesting. The more successful approach is bribery, which RKBA has proven. Hundreds of millions (billions?) in bribes to politicians and PR just to get a couple concessions.
