Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.

I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

In Florida, what is the worst case scenario for getting caught with a fake id (just fake in age) for getting into a club (i.e. a 17 year old with an id saying he's 18)? Can you be arrested? Or does the bouncer take your card?

You want to be extremely careful when getting involved in other people's affairs.  You are only getting one side of things, and she is probably not giving you the entire story.  

If you honestly believe that her mother is abusive, then call the police.  If, on the other hand, you think that it is just a case of a teen who doesn't want to follow house rules, then do not call the police.

You certainly cannot keep her from her mother.

Asked by Aron over 11 years ago

If it is a crime for you to carry the baton, then I would expect that you would be arrested.
