Question: What happens when someone under 18 is caught with a fake ID?

Answer: Under Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) 4-241(e), a person under the legal drinking age who uses a fake ID or uses the ID of another person to get into a bar is guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor and will be prosecuted. Also, under A.R.S. 28-3309, anyone who is convicted for using fake ID will have his or her driver's license suspended for 6 months for the first conviction and 12 months for each following conviction. Consult your school or city librarian for help on finding the laws governing this issue in your state.

it shouldnt be lowered to 17 because then each time it will get lower and loose the use for controlling it until it gets out of controll.

Hey, I'm 19 and I was found to possess a fake ID. I live in NJ and was wondering what I'm looking at. THe cop said a 250 dollar fine but then said he wasn't sure about suspension of license which is what I'm really concerned about. Anyone know the penalties in NJ?
