yah when i got a speeding ticket i told the cop that the address on my licsense was my parent's address and i needed to give him my school address in raleigh,

a. to get any necessary paperwork there
and b. so my parents don't find out i got a ticket when all that lawyer mail starts coming in,

anyway the cops gives me a lecture saying he could give me another ticket; and that he will be generous and let me off w/ a warning on my drivers lisence. Thanks numbnuts i guess u don't understand the concept that i'm a college student b.c i guess kids don't go to college where u r from thats why u hand out speeding tickets in bumfuck N.C. its rediculous i guess i gotta change my liscense every year when i move from one dorm to apt etc.

if your license is faded just bitch about it and they will make you a dup for free

6/15/2006 9:20:20 AM

^^ I had to talk to the Nash county clerk of courts about jury duty for said reason, however they tottally understood and even TOLD me when I asked, that doing that with your liscence is fine.

Said cop was being an ass. That or Nash co was wrong but ,meh.

I always thought it was funny how the Food Lion on Avent Ferry had to clear out the entire alcohol section because they kept selling to minors.

the abominations of many words in this thread make me laugh

I actually have a story of the reverse happening.

I went to ECU for the first time last year and my friends and I went club hopping. Well I'm 20 but I'm 6'8 with a full beard so I can pass for older. I don't have a fake so if they look at my ID they know how old I am. We went to about 4 or 5 clubs that night and all of them were hardcore about carding, so no alcohol. We go to the last club that night and I handed my ID to the girl at the door she looks at it, looks at me then hands it off to the bouncer. At this point I'm thinking "oh shit, what's up". My ID is legit and says under 21 on it so I'm not seeing the problem. He looks at me, looks at my ID, looks at me again and then proceeds to put a 21 and over band on my wrist. I make a bee line to the bar and get all my boys drinks.

This could be attributed to it being Downtown Greenvile but I still find it funny that I gave my real ID and was able to drink.

6/15/2006 11:01:21 AM

rs141. I ran into the same problem, heading down to myrtle beach from Raleigh on a Sunday, when SC had some weird laws about alcohol sales on Sundays. My first gas station I landed in a dry county, so that was 10 minutes wasted. My second stop 15 exits later, the lady says I can't sell you this beer, it says you're under 21. I pointed to my birthday, no good. So I said, so I'm supposed to get a new ID at 20 and at 21 (to buy alcohol)? She looked very puzzled and had no idea what I was talking about, I tried explaining, but let's not forget, these people are not paid to think. I tried everything, because I had 4 cases up there, but she wasn't budging. So we stared at each other for abotu 10 seconds and I just walked out. Then I went another 15 miles stopped at a gas station, and I got the same spill but they sold to me in the end, but they said if I wanted to buy beer from them again, to go to the DMV and get the under 21 fixed. I was like sure, whatever.

6/15/2006 11:08:12 AM

i just turned 21 and have been wondering if i should get a new ID that doesn't say under 21, after reading all these posts, i seem to think it's no big deal and i don't need to go get a new one.

is that basically the verdict on this thread?

6/15/2006 12:21:08 PM

6/15/2006 1:16:48 PM

One of my friends who used to work with me got caught by one of those secret tobacco operation thingies (where cops go around and use a kid who's like 15 to buy cigarettes to see if they get carded). She sold cigarettes to a minor and had to go to court and do like 20 hours of community service plus pay a fine. The incident stays on her record too...luckily its a misdemeanor for your first offense. The cop told her that she's lucky that is wasn't alcohol because she could have went to jail. Clerks are actually supossed to card you up to the age of 27 for the purchase of tobacco products in NC. I think that's funny because they are only required to card you up to age 21 for alcoholic products.

[Edited on June 15, 2006 at 1:40 PM. Reason : oh yeah]

6/15/2006 1:36:54 PM

Actually they highly recommend you card up to 35.

He eye balls the fuck out of the card, asks me my are code to my phone number, then goes back to his book to check it out. He comes back, I sneak in a little "dude, you cant fake the new NC liscense, look at all the holograms." he replies, "youde be suprised." He takes my ID back and checks it with three managers, comes back, throws it in front of me at the bar and states "you cant fake that accent", and makes us a drink. Next time he sais something to us he tells us our minimum of three drinks has been met, and we will have to leave. Meanwhile , two girls next to us have a $70 tab which equates to 10 between them so I ask him if its a bar rule or just his PMS rule. We are like , okay, were dont drinking margaritas, but were not leaving. He goes "oh yea you are, ill close your tab while you and your friend head to the door." We dont move, he comes back with the manager who tells us we cant have any more margaritas, so we order a few beers and drink some more just to piss him off. I usually tip at least 20%, he got a big fat zero...i know these people out here gotta check ID's but if your make an ass of yourself you should attempt to be cool in order to save your tip [/rant]"

I think he was discriminating against you because you're gay.

In almost 3 years of drinking with the under 21 background I have never had a problem in many states, counties, cities, towns and whereever.

6/15/2006 3:09:49 PM

i've never quite understood why cops go out of their way to bust underage alcohol and tobacco use. I'm sure there are a lot bigger problems in this country than some minors buying cigarettes and underage purchasing of alcohol.

i don't see how getting the 15 yr old to buy cigs is not entrapment

they don't take some random 15 year old and mkae him do it. They take a kid who has been charged with something and ask him to narc out a gas station worker and they will ease up on the kids sentence in return. They don't make the kid do it, however, it still is somewhat shady.

total wine and the abc store took my under 21 like they took all my money

I never had any problems with the "under 21" thing. I did have a few clerks complain about my license being scratched up though.

6/15/2006 6:47:05 PM

its still rediculous that my tax dollors are going toward cops busting 15 year olds for smoking cigs.

i could really care less if the fucker dies of lung cancer. the same goes with drinking too as long as they are not behind the wheel of an automobile putting my life in danger

6/15/2006 7:14:11 PM

If you are dumb enough to let this happen to you, you don't need to be drinking.

6/15/2006 7:15:22 PM

If you re-order a license/get a duplicate, would'nt they just send you the exact same one, that stillsays UNDER 21?

I went to the DMV on my 18th birthday last summer and wanted to get my license changed to Under 21 instead of Under 18 because I always go out and such, and it felt...cooler. Anyways, I was under the impression that I would just get a new license and it'd be done but the woman said I needed to re-take my Road Signs test. Reaction: Oh shit.

So I struggle through it. "Intersection?"
Her: "Uhhhh you meant Railroad Crossing, right?"

Well, she gave it to me anyways, and I have my nice new pretty license. My friend is 20, from MA and 5'3" and she has a fake that says she is from Kentucky, 6' and 26. The people always buy it though - she even uses it at the liquor store and the guy doesnt bat an eye. I guess that's ok when your boobs are a size 32E.

6/15/2006 7:19:40 PM

i have long hair on my ID

and i have a shaved head in the summer


it for some reason still hasnt been a problem, even though i look nothing like my ID and look underaged to begin with.


My response is going to be "chemo" with a straight face when/if it ever happens

You didnt know what a railroad crossing sign looks like? For the love of christ a train runs right through fucking campus.

I don't drive through campus! I commute. I didn't see the Bell Tower until February. I've only ever driven down Dan Allen once.

Providing opportunity is not entrapment. If they had given the kid a gun and had him demand cigarettes at gun point, that would be entrapment.

A lot of cashiers don't think twice and just do what their cash register tells them to. Two summers ago I got carded to buy a couple R rated movies at Wal Mart. Last month, I got carded to by a T-rated game at Target.

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I used to work there.. sad enough, I used to be his supervisor when I was working there (keep in mind I was 18 then...) He is notorious about checking id's. He even checks his own co-workers id's. I mean, come on, he know's that their over 21, however he checks anyways.

Harris Teeter does have dumb rules though. Technically, he was in his place to deny you the sale, though I'd sell it to you anyways. Reason? An expired liscense is no longer a legal form of identification (which HT requires a customer to show upon request by the cashier) However, obviously if you are over 21 when the id was legal, I'm pretty sure you are still over 21 even after the ID expired.

6/15/2006 10:31:37 PM

I actually had a couple problems with mine, once with the under 18 and once with the under 21. I tried to buy an abercrombie magazine when I was 18, but my license hadn't been changed yet, and they had to call in two other people to make sure that me being born in 1984 made me 18...but then, it was abercrombie...then I tried to buy a case of beer once at a grocery store for someone's bday, and I hadn't changed it yet, but not only did they think I was under 21, they thought the picture wasn't me, so I had to show them my stupid visa and explain that they needed to count from 84 to now... also, I went in with a guy once to buy cigarettes, and I didn't have my ID but he did, and he was paying, and she wouldn't let him buy them since I didn't have an ID with me. How can they get in trouble for that? They weren't selling them to a minor, or a possible minor...they were selling them to a guy with an ID. Not only that, I used to go there a lot to buy groceries and stuff, she knew how old I was. I think she was just being a bitch.

6/15/2006 11:25:01 PM

Figure I'll drop my two cents in while I'm at it...

So the day I turned 21 I went to buy my first case of beer at the Food Lion on Tryon. I go and show the cashier my ID and, being an old ID, it was kind of faded. She proceeds to make a huge deal about it being "altered" and that she won't sell me anything. I kept my cool for a while, until she decided that she was not only not going to sell me the beer, she refused to give me my ID back. Now at that point I was pissed beyond belief, no one other than proper law enforcement should have a right to confiscate my proper Government issued ID. I proceeded to tell her to call the police and that I would wait until they got here. By this point the manager came by and took a look at my ID and finally said "I'm not going to sell you any alcohol because it is scratched up, go get a new ID and make it easier on yourself, but I'll give you back you ID." Even as pissed as I was, I realized I had a major exam in 30 minutes on campus and had to leave but boy was I pissed that someone took my ID from me. To this day, I refuse to give my ID, I always hold it in my wallet, even with huge ass bouncers...

6/15/2006 11:36:56 PM

A couple months ago I went with a friend to a 9:30 movie at Crossroads on a Friday night. For anyone who doesn't know Cary has a curfew law that says 16 year olds can't be out past a certain time on the weekends, can't remember what time but because of the law Crossroads requires you to be 16 to see a movie past the curfew time. I'm 23 the friend is 22, anyway they carded him to see the PG-13 movie because they apparently thought he looked under 16.

6/16/2006 12:18:00 AM

The clerk should have looked at three things on that license:

The picture (to make sure that it looked like you and not somebody else)
The date of birth
The expiration date (because it can't be expired)

And she should have checked the back to make sure that it didn't have the cute little "disclaimer statement" that a lot of fake IDs have, and that it had the barcode that all the DMV-issued IDs and licenses have on them.

Turning it down because it says "Under 21" when everything else checks out is...well, stupid.

That manager was totally in the wrong. If the ID is expired, there's no sale.

As for faded IDs, I tell customers if their ID is really super-faded (but I can still read it) that they should really drop the $10 for a reprint, because if it fades to the point where we can't make out the picture, the FULL birthdate, or the FULL expiration date we're not allowed to take it.

And if they get assy about it, I just won't sell to them anymore. I'll take being called a fucking bitch for denying a sale over getting busted any day of the week.
