Fake IDs in Kansas: No room for Nostalgia
Here’s a touching story about underage drinking in Lawrence, KS and how the bouncers in Lenexa, specifically Mickey’s Irish Pub, handle it according to Nick Hergott, Overland Park senior, who manages the bouncers:
At Mickey’s Irish Pub, sometimes Hergott and a patron disagree about the validity of an ID. If a person insists the ID is real, Hergott invites them to call the Lenexa Police Department to double-check it.The cops come, see that the ID is fake and simply arrest the person, Hergott said. All fake IDs go to the Alcoholic Beverage Control, a unit of the Kansas Department of Revenue.
We kind of feel bad taking their fake IDs, Hergott said. I mean, I remember when I had one. It’s just one of those things to protect the interests of the bar
You know, if you really don’t let people drink until they’re twenty-one, can you be surprised that they have no idea how to respect alcohol by the time they’re legally allowed to consume it?
