Students Beware – PA State Police Looking for Underage Drinking & Fake IDs

PA Underage Drinking Defense Lawyer

School is back in session, and parties are already happening on weekends at universities around Erie & Edinboro. State police have made it a priority to seek out students guilty of underage drinking. One of the main areas they’ll be focusing on is fraternities and sororities, as patrols are scheduled to increase during the Fall.

Police Working in Conjunction With Local Bar Owners

Fake IDs are a rising concern for police, so they are working with bar owners to help them spot a fake. Many of the drinking establishments around local universities do a good job of carding people as they enter, but the police want to be sure the person checking IDs at the door recognizes the latest fake ID techniques. The bottom line is, if you use a fake ID, you might get caught, and you might be charged with a crime.

Don’t Start College Facing Criminal Charges

Life is about choices, now that college students are out on their own for the first time, it’s easy to make the wrong choice. This is especially true once a person has had a few drinks. Remember, your judgment is the first thing effected when you consume alcohol, don’t get caught using a fake ID to buy liquor or to get into a club. The consequences are serious, and can stay on your permanent record, which could greatly effect which college you attend or which employer hires you in the future.
