DETALLES:

En agosto 5, 2017, the Oxnard Police Department cited 13 store clerks for selling alcohol to minors. The actions were the result of three simultaneous minor decoy operations in which minors, under the direct supervision of officers, intentó comprar alcohol de 57 licenciatarios minoristas en la ciudad de Oxnard.

Those who sold to the minors face a minimum fine of $250, y / o 24 a 32 horas de servicio comunitario por una primera infracción. en adición, the Alcohol Beverage Control (Abecedario) will take administrative action against the alcoholic beverage license of the business. Eso puede incluir una multa, una suspensión de la licencia, o la revocación permanente de la licencia.

The Oxnard Police Department is conducting the compliance checks to reduce the availability of alcohol to minors. Las estadísticas han demostrado que los jóvenes menores de 21 tienen una tasa más alta de muertes por conducir en estado de ebriedad que la población adulta en general.

Minor Decoy operations have been conducted by local law enforcement throughout the state since the 1980’s. Cuando comenzó el programa, la tasa de infracción de los establecimientos minoristas que venden a menores fue tan alta como 40 a 50 por ciento. Cuando se realiza de forma rutinaria, la tasa ha caído en algunas ciudades tan bajo como 10 por ciento o incluso por debajo.

En 1994, the California Supreme Court ruled unanimously that use of underage decoys is a valid tool of law enforcement to ensure that licensees are complying with the law.

This project is part of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control’s Education and Teen Alcohol Enforcement Program Grant, funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
