Operation Prevent investigators are using portable document verification machines to determine fake IDs. Individuals under the age of 21 who will be found using fake IDs will be arrested. The DMV will revoke their licenses for a minimum of 90 days or up to one year.
In a statement, DMV Executive Deputy Commissioner Terri Egan, said, “Our investigators are well trained in detecting fake identifications.” They can also detect fake IDs from other states.
In addition, Egan said, They work diligently to prevent tragedies by stopping young people from drinking before they are of age, potentially putting themselves and others at risk. We hope this serves as a warning and deters underage drinking, so everyone can have a safe and enjoyable summer.”
On the other hand, State Liquor Authority Chairman Vincent Bradley said his agency “considers selling alcohol to a minor one of the most serious violations of the ABC Law.”
Meanwhile, State Park Police Chief David Page said they will not tolerate underage drinking, driving while intoxicated and illegal drug use or possession. He emphasized that the safety of state park visitors is their greatest priority.
