Around 10pm, students should be seen going to the bars around the Loyola crowd. on some random Thursday. Many entered pub 63 on a property that Loyola claims to own, while others ventured to Bulldog Ale House on North Sheridan Road.

Many underage students, casually named “Parched Thursdays” by students, tried to use fake IDs to get into bars close to the venue.

“I like going to [Bar] 63 because it’s unpretentious and close to Loyola. Also, it’s a pleasure to spend an evening with fellow students,” said a substitute student, who asked not to be named because they said they used an id fake card .

A 63-year-old security officer uses bright (UV) lights to actually see the ID. This UV light reveals hidden pictures in the visualization of various state IDs.

On a normal Thursday, a 63-year-old would seize four or five fake IDs, as 63-year-old security officer Junior Juarez said.

Juarez said bars began using UV innovation last year to make them more likely to identify counterfeit IDs after a 63-year-old underage student became addicted to alcohol.

“That’s a problem. Last year we had an incident where a young lady was underage and she showed me her fake id, but it was a best fake id because we didn’t have a blue light a year ago. That night she drunk . . ,” Juarez said.

Zachary Lindner, a senior director at 63, says making a fake id has been incredibly convincing lately. He said if the student was drunk and Loyola found out that the ID used was fake, 63 would not be at risk because the fake ID used was believed to be real.

“63 Sometimes a person gets toasted for being so drunk that [campus security says] ‘well, they’re underage’ and we’re like ‘we have their ID’ and they’re like ‘you It does what you expect it to do,'” Lindner said.

In any case, Loyola Campus Safety head Thomas Murray said it was by no means an arrangement between Campus Safety and 63.

“We don’t have any side opinions with 63 or different bars. They need to follow the law as an authorized liquor business,” Murray said. “Their obligations are not guided by site safety. We are looking for authorized agencies to be good neighbors.”

The Illinois Liquor Control Board, a state office that regulates licensing, inspections, legality, and liquor businesses, says that unless the scannable fake ID used is known, proof of ID required and presented can be used as a guard in court including the requirement to waive attorney license.

All in all, according to Lindner, if a bar has a legitimate reason to accept the ID as real, it can use it to protect itself, assuming entanglement arises or the bar’s alcohol license is in danger of being waived.

Bulldog senior director Michael Blaha said Bulldog security officers handed over the seized id card fake directly to the Chicago Police Department.

When Bulldog first opened last year, many students tried to enter the bar with fake IDs on Thursday nights, but the bar has always had strict security measures in place to prevent the use of fake IDs, Blaha said.

“We start checking IDs at the entrance at 10 on Wednesday and Thursday,” Blaha said. “We use [UV], we also get modern data from Chicago [police] to actually look at the specific ID in the best way possible. We also use [UV]. There are scanners, and every supervisor has a scanner that we use on the phone.”

Lindner understood that 63 people handed over seized campus security IDs to other results.

Murray said 63 will call Campus Safety to collect fake IDs and then forward the IDs to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR) for results. At Loyola, there are multiple ways to deal with general wrongdoing.

“Smart tasks within the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution, anything in the Quality Studio,” said OSCCR Director Jeff Gardner. “We can do guided exercises here and there, and we also have positive expressions that students can also enter, for example, about fake characters. University probation, and sometimes, fines can happen without any warrants.”

While the seizure of 63-year-old IDs is usually done inside universities, Illinois police have raided 63-year-olds and different bars in Rogers Park in the past in an attempt to get serious about the use of fake IDs nearby.

On a Thursday night in November 2014, Illinois state police cracked down on 63 students and the now-closed North Broadway Pumping Company, and arrested 45 students for possessing fake id cards, according to Phoenix.com.

Substitute students are charged with Class A misconduct for falsely possessing a false ID, and bail c should be set at $1,500. Still, assuming they appear in court, they will be excluded from the charges, according to Phoenix.com.

While the police were happy with the students that night, there’s no denying that the law’s repercussions were sometimes more severe. In Illinois, possession of a fake ID is a sufficient crime at Class IV, punishable by one to three years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.

Buying a fake ID has become more common since the legal drinking age was raised to 21 in 1984.

Experts in Toledo, Ohio, recently seized $4.7 million worth of bitcoin and several PCs and printers from a huge fake ID campaign at Mark Simon’s home, allegedly conducted by the man via the conversation site Reddit. According to a Time magazine article, Simon was accused of making and sending fake IDs.

Still, the current global economy also enables students to buy a fake ID from countries like China. Manufacturers ship ID documents hidden in items such as tea sets and photo outlines, The New York Times reported.

Although the bars brought in some substitutes, there were some that passed by the entrance. As merchants (for example, makingafakeid.com, a website that sells fake IDs) add holographic and filtering innovations, distinguishing fake IDs has become increasingly cumbersome.

Lindner said pubs were doing their best to ensure id card fakes were not removed from their gates.

Many students were unaware of these methods until they became apparent in Phoenix. Still, many are up for the challenge.

“When I heard the news of the crackdown before, I was immediately horrified, but then I recalled that I had entered the age of 63 and they did nothing,” said one student, who asked not to be named. Given the fact that they said they were using fake IDs. “I haven’t heard of them taking it, so I’m actually in danger because it’s just a vacancy for me.”

While Bar 63 continues to use scannable fake IDs, staff are trying to reduce underage drinking and protect students.

“Really, that’s the main thing we can do,” Lindner said. “I don’t think there’s a way for us to be proactive in making sure that individuals don’t come to minors with ID.
