Duh.Interestingly, according to the police, several of the underage kids that were caught at the bar have been cited before (and will be again). Maybe lay off going to bars for a bit, guys?Those citations get expensive, definitely more than I would've been able to afford in college. The most common citations listed in bar checks in Madison are:<ul><li>Underage Person Not to Possess or Consume Alcohol Beverage on Licensed Premises</li><li>Fine: $376-$1006</li></ul><ul><li>Underage Person Enters or Attempts to Enter Licensed Premises</li><li>Fine: $376-$1006</li></ul><ul><li>Underage Person Intentionally Carrying ID Not Theirs or Carrying Altered or Duplicated to Convey False Information</li><li>Fine: $376-$1006</li></ul><ul><li>Resisting Arrest or Obstructing</li></ul><ul><li>Fine: $439</li></ul>That could be up to $3,000+ you're paying for getting caught in a bar check. No thank you. That would be the point I'd just go to someone's house to drink, it's not worth risking the bar check.Madison police advise you to just drop the act if you do get caught in a bar check. Don't try to give them your fake ID and just be honest with the officers.<h2>Californians Moving To Wisconsin Are In For A Rude Awakening</h2><a href="https://b100quadcities.com/californians-moving-to-wisconsin-are-in-for-a-rude-awakening/">Californians are leaving</a> the Golden State for what they think is a better life.
