[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are concerned about the wrong things OP.

The law that raised  the drinking age to 21 has  been very rigorously evaluated, and it has saved the lives of thousands and thousands of kids.

Whether that is intuitive to you or not, it has been proven without a doubt. [/quote]

???

I’m not the one arguing to lower the drinking age.

Rather, I’m trying to tell parents that even the straight-edge bookish kids have a fake ID…or will get one at college. And even if they are just using it to get inside a bar, they could end up with a citation, court date, etc.

Moreover: they could end up with something on their record without realizing it.

Don’t shoot the messenger.

ICYMI: there are some rather entrepreneurial kids at area private and public schools making money from selling them…and all the kids have them. [/quote]

So, was this bar raided by the cops?

Just trying to better understand the PSA...I gather this is not a bouncer calling the cops on you because you have a fake ID, but rather a planned raid by the cops...probably because the bar has some notoriety of allowing underage kids?[/quote]

There’s no way to predict where and when it will happen.

My kid is a networker who makes friends wherever he goes. On more than one occasion bouncers or bartenders have given him a heads up to leave before 1am because they anticipated cops rolling in to check ids.

He’s been in line in various cities where it’s clear a plainclothes cop was standing by. That’s the cue to leave…and hope they don’t follow you down the street to do sobriety checks.
