What ever happened to due process?
I just got back from a family vacation in Hawaii. (Beautiful place!)
Anyway, I stopped at a local corner store to buy some beer. The girl behind the counter asked for my ID! I'm well on the other side of 40 and look every day of it. I laughed and she explained that the owner has been having problems:
A 21+ year old with valid ID buys 2 cases of beer. Off site and out of the view of the store owner, the beer is distributed to teenagers. Kids get busted. Beer sale is traced to local store. Instant $500 fine.
You can appeal, right? You have video of the beer sale. No sale was made to minors. You can prove it. Not so fast... In Hawaii, if you appeal the $500 fine, they will lift your license to sell alcohol pending outcome of the hearing. Is this crazy or what?
