Tried to buy a beer at the grocery store, my driver license is expired, so no

Reply #10570408 Police don't use this tactic for
compliance checks, because it is not illegal to sell alcohol to a person 21 or
older with an expired ID. Police typically offer reduced sentence or dropped
charges to minors caught with alcohol if they participate in compliance checks.
It happened to me probably a half-dozen times in the many years I bartended.
Older dude in plainclothes sits at bar, orders a water, and says he's waiting
for his date. A few minutes later, kid sits at bar and orders a beer. If carded,
he presents a valid ID that says he is 18 or 19 or 20. If you fail to card him,
or card him and are arithmetic-retarded and serve him anyway, you get dinged.

Reply #17108053 Older dude who arrived first and
ordered the water is a plainclothes cop, observing whether you serve the minor.

Reply #17209565 I only slipped up once in my life
in this area, but I could have gotten nailed big time, and so easily. I'm not
going to go into details, but I'll say it happened during law school and would
certainly have delayed my entry into law by at least 10 years, if not longer.
Looking back, I feel like a freaking idiot. But hey, I was 24 and I remembered
what it was like being under 21. So they got me. Never happened again, which
I'm quite proud of.
