It doesn't matter anyway. They don't use fake IDs for stings. They send in real teenagers with real IDs who are too young.
Unless you drastically over serve someone which would get you in trouble anyway, you won't ever need to know it's a fake to avoid trouble. You just need to check it which is the real problem, nobody be checking sometimes. Last one I saw was slick as hell, she came in and even talked to the people sitting next to her while she was ordering her beer, then left and a second later the guy with the clipboard came in. You wouldn't have been able to tell her from any other twenty something there except she was at most 20. At that place only the bouncer checked and he wasn't working then so they got overconfident on not checking anybody at the bar
> They send in real teenagers with real IDs who are too young.
Are you saying the ID represents them as their actual age, or that they have been furnished with an ID that is inaccurate but otherwise looks and feels identical to all the other government-issued IDs?
Because the latter case sounds like some bullshit. Not to say you're making it up, just that it's ridiculous and unfair, so I'm hoping I've got it twisted but suspect I don't.
They're kids who are recruited, it's their actual ID. Like their honest to God government issue ID. It's not a fake name or a fake age. It's their driver's license or otherwise state issue ID. So for obvious reasons if the establishment never bothered to check that's a demerit. But they don't try to trick you, there's no fake, they're literally just checking if you aren't checking people's real IDs. They don't care about fakes, not in the States anyway, every state has a different one it's very hard to know the rules for just serving beer
