SAN ANTONIO, Texas (Reuters) -- Texas has begun sending undercover agents into bars to arrest drinkers for being drunk, a spokeswoman for the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission said Wednesday.

They should do that here. It would keep these lightweight sissy collarpopping losers out of my bar.

You'd be in jail alot though.

That is totally absurd. Don't the fuckin cops have something better to do with their undercover agents, like catch crack dealers and hitmen? This is just pathetic.

Crack Dealers? Guns?

Clearly Alcohol is more important.

My father sent me this link a few days ago. It really is total bullshit. They are arresting people while at a bar. Basically what they are doing is ASSUMING that people will do something bad after they leave the bar. As a cop, you can't assume something. It is a stupid idea.

Now on the other hand, California is going to implement a thing where a 2 time offender of a DUI will have to put a special red license plate on their car, that states "DUI" on it, to show people that they have drank and drove. This idea is much better than texas.

Clearly using undercover cops to see poeple puke on themselves is more important then catching a hitman before he asassinates the governor.

Wow, that somehow reminds me ALOT of spawn camping.

We need to put a stop to this now

eh just start asking if they're cops. I don't think they can lie to you and then bust you for something. specially that stupid.

Yeah, they can't lie. It's entrapment if they lie to you. So.. If they lie to you, and then try to arrest you, all charges are dropped.
