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.
None of your examples are cops "breaking the law"...

They are specifically given the legal authority to exceed the speed limit and use their lights to go thru intersections (just like ambulances can and do)...
