Never understood this law. People knowingly go and try to break the law but they hold the establishment accountable.

My wife used to work for a bowling establishment in our town that served beer. The employees are really not trained very well to "spot" a fake ID. And do you know who are producing those fake ID's to the unbeknownst "victim"... the poor bastard trying to earn a little extra money to pay the bills?... the State Police! They have the best fake ID's out there! This "underage" patron, sent in by the State Police, produced a fake ID that looked real. She gave him a beer and was promptly served with a notice to appear in court. She had never been arrested, nor has she ever been given a moving violation. Her record is crystal clear and yet she had to appear in court for this and had to serve community service for this. I believe the underage trooper cadet should have been convicted for attempting to by alcohol as an underage person. Oh... wait a minute... they can do what ever they want. Try catching someone actually committing a crime instead of running radar and stings. It is all a money making scheme for the state. Just remember... when you are being a victim of a crime and seconds count... the police are only minutes away!

Anon 606pm, I have taken part in a couple of those alcohol stings, and I think the info you are providing in your story is false.

The MSP cadets that I accompanied were allowed to provide their own ID and see if they get served anyway or claim they didn't have it on them and try to get served. We never allowed them to use fake ID's or ID's that belonged to other people
