Reply to comment by ThatWasTheJawn in Dear PLCB, it's now cost-effectiove for me to drive out of state to buy alcohol. Why aren't you passing your volume buying discounts to Pennsylvanians? by pm_your_masterpiece

We used to live just across the Delaware boarder west of Philadelphia. We would go over into Delaware for shopping and food etc and there was always this PA cop car that would sit right outside the boarder liquor store in Delaware. If your car had pa plates and he saw you leave the liquor store parking lot he would follow you into PA and pull you over.

Never happened to us but I saw it happen to another driver. I was told you just get a fine.

Also was told if you pitched your receipt before you left they couldn't prove you bought the stuff in Delaware, so if you did that you were fine.

Now this was like 14 years ago so maybe it has changed since then like you said

I’ve heard this story told repeatedly, but it’s always said to happen to someone they know. Never a first person account. I think it’s just a myth/legend. Maybe many many years ago though.

Fair enough,

In our case I did see it actually happened to a car. Saw them leave out of the liquor store parking lot and the cop follow them and we crossed the border in site. We saw the cops and saw the lights go on and he pulled the guy over.
