These were kids having a good time (maybe trying to be wiseguyish, but you don't know the real reason for the party)

I like to hang out in bars but I have never drank alcohol in my life and never intend to. Does a police officer have the right to pull me over and give me a field sobriety test, just because he saw me leave a bar?

Do you smoke, that’s the BIG CRIME!!! /sarc

The root-beer kegger was "to kind of make fun of the school," he said. "They assumed there was beer in the cups. We just wanted to have some root beer in red cups and just make it look like a party, but there actually wasn't any alcohol."

Now, while he didn't actually tell the reporter (or maybe he did, and it didn't get into the story) they were trying to get attention to pull a "gotcha" on the school, you'd have to be gullible as hell to think they didn't plan on drawing attention to themselves. And if they didn't want to draw attention to themsevles, then they're just plain stupid for blocking the road with their cars.

"I like to hang out in bars but I have never drank alcohol in my life and never intend to. Does a police officer have the right to pull me over and give me a field sobriety test, just because he saw me leave a bar?"

Congrats on your sobriety. If you were weaving and driving erratically, yes, the officer would have probable cause to pull you over and administer a sobriety test.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
