California Cracks Down on Underage Drinking with Shoulder Tap Operations
In a concerted effort to combat underage drinking, law enforcement agencies across California have intensified their 'shoulder tap' operations. These initiatives, designed to prevent minors from accessing alcohol, involve officers observing adults and asking them to buy alcohol for underage individuals. Recent operations in San Diego, Eureka, and other parts of the state have led to the arrests of several individuals caught in the act.
The San Diego Sheriff's Department, among others, has been actively involved in these preventive measures. Over the weekend, operations resulted in multiple citations and arrests, underscoring the seriousness with which the state is tackling the issue. In Eureka, three people were arrested for various alcohol-related offenses during a similar crackdown.
These shoulder tap operations are part of a broader statewide initiative aimed at reducing alcohol consumption among minors. Authorities hope that by increasing enforcement and public awareness, they can significantly decrease the incidents of underage drinking, which remains a persistent challenge across the U.S.
