A server serves alcohol to a young looking patron who presented a fake ID that appeared to be valid. Who has most likely committed a crime?

The server
The manager
The patron
The bouncer

The correct answer is: The patron

The patron has most likely committed a crime by presenting a fake ID. In California, it is illegal to attempt to purchase alcohol by providing false identification. This behavior not only shows intent to deceive but also violates laws aimed at preventing underage drinking. Patrons are responsible for ensuring that their identification is valid and truthful. By using a fake ID, the patron engages in fraudulent behavior, which is a violation of the law. While the server, manager, and bouncer have responsibilities to ensure that they do not serve or allow underage patrons to drink, the primary crime arises from the action of the patron trying to make an illegitimate purchase. This distinction is crucial because the accountability for using a fake ID falls predominantly on the individual attempting to use it.
