I said nothing about not liking that the agencies enforce the law, but you cannot sit there and tell me straight-faced that the goverment doesn't make some amount of effort to conduct "high-profile" arrests. It's their way of getting the most "bang for the buck". (ie who cares of Joe Nobody is arrested, but Matt Grothe?) Ok, here I am straight-faced telling you that they didn't know or care who he was, this was just business as usual for the agency investigating businesses serving underaged person(s). This enforcement effort saves lives believe it or not. Underaged drinkers are involved in fatal crashes twice their numbers in the general driving public. I don't doubt that the agency does conduct other arrests, but you make it sound as if there is a huge dragnet of arrests in the area and Matt was picked up as part of a larger operation. I don't think this was the case (unless you have proof?) Since YOU are making the accusation don't you think you should be the one coming up with proof that he was targeted? And believe me, as a Libertarian, I'm not fan of "victimless crimes," so I think the charges are bogus anyway. Perhaps there are some MADD lobbyists partially to blame, but mostly we can thank those politicians who believe they can "legislate morality". It is not about morality, it is about dangerous behavior, see comment above. You have to think these things through to the consequences of the behavior of serving underaged persons. Are you ok with say a 14 year old girl being served booze all night at a bar? "victimless"? what could happen right? MADD is responsible for saving tens of thousands of lives in the past 25 years, but don't let facts get in the way of a good argument. The bottom line is that I'm glad this happened.  It was relatively minor, and it teaches Matt (and other members of the team hopefully) the amount of scrutiny they're under, so hopefully they may avoid similar (more major) mistakes in the future. I agree totally with this statement, I wish that Grothe never got in trouble this way, He is a great person on the field and from what I hear in his personal life as well. We all make mistakes. He will do great things in the future and this is just a small bump in the road.
