Fake ID
Belmar, New Jersey, Fake ID Attorney
We get it, the temptation is high. Whether some of your friends are 21 and you are waiting for your special birthday, or none of your friends are 21 but you all wish you were, the lure of a club or purchasing and drinking alcohol from a local liquor store is a common one in Belmar, New Jersey. While Belmar restaurants and bars have an affirmative obligation to always check age, they are especially vigilant during the summer months and holidays when there’s more available social time. And fake IDs keep getting more and more sophisticated. The truth is that no one really considers the major consequences of this offense until he or she is charged with it.
NJSA 33:1-81c makes it illegal for an individual to misstate his or her age (or the age of another) for the purpose of consuming, purchasing or otherwise obtaining alcohol if you are underage. A violation of this charge results in a disorderly person’s offense. Penalties attached to getting caught with a fake idea in Belmar, New Jersey, can include the following:
- $500 fine
- Drivers’ license suspension
- Alcohol education or treatment program (optional)
Getting caught with a fake ID has much bigger consequences than those listed above. The presence of a criminal offense on your record during such an important time in their life. Whether applying for college or for a job, you don’t want to have this conviction on your record.
There are many viable defenses available to this charge including getting it dismissed all together or reduced to a fine-based violation that does not carry the weight of a criminal conviction.
