Sounds like entrapment.

So a cop can't speed to catch up to a speeder? Can't "Lights N Siren" their way through an intersection to catch up to someone who ran a red light? They gotta sit and wait for it to turn green before they can give chase - not violating the speed limit while they do so?
They are not breaking the law by sending in a minor - an "agent of the government." They are presenting the clerk with the opportunity for them to break the law. No law against a minor TRYING to buy alcohol.
Yeah- makes perfect sense.
