Underage Kids Become Skeptical of Using Fake ID's

LAWRENCE KU- KU students are becoming weary of using Fake ID's and noticing that bars are seeming to be less crowded lately. Thursday night in Lawrence is a popular night for kids to go out and enjoy themselves. Two boys standing outside of Quintons on Thursday night had the same view that students are beginning to use fake ID's less and less. Jared Hodgson, one of the boys, was standing outside getting ready to get picked up. When asked what he thought about the recent spike of Minor in Possession and Fake ID charges he responded by saying, "I'm 21, actually, so it hasn't affected me in anyway, but a lot of my friends won't come out with me anymore. It's made it less fun." Fake ID's are obviously illegal, but are used or attempted to be used at many of the bars on Mass Street. When Michael Johnson was asked outside of Quintons what he thought about KU students using fake ID's to get into bars he responded with, "Well everyone uses fake ID's. I know tons of people that do. A sh**load of my friends won't go out to the bars though anymore because they are nervous. I would be." The students becoming more skeptical to come to the bars has not gone unnoticed. Hodgson remarked, "The bars have seemed less crowded lately. I like it." The skepticism of underage kids using Fake ID's is changing the way kids are spending there time at night. Fake ID's are illegal and can have serious consequences. Underage kids are starting to take this charge more seriously.
