I checked the ID and either didnt notice it was fake, or did a math error on the date...I never found out. Anyway, I did not INTEND to sell a controlled substance to a minor. If you are a lawyer, or you know for sure, please tell me if this is a crime of moral turpitude.

I work in a convenience store also. It is one of my biggest fears to have this happen to me. The one thing that I always make sure is that I know the year that a person can purchase alcohol. It is 1988 right now. In the state of Washington, they are very strict and I can go to jail and be fined $5000, if caught selling to a minor. It isn't a case of moral turpitude. It is just against the law and a crime, period.

In NY state, during a sting, they can not show you any I.D. When they ask for the cigarettes or alcohol, and you ask for I.D., they just have to say they don't have any. I'm not sure where you live, but look into that. You should not get into trouble if it was fake. How were you supposed to know? That would be setting you up. I would fight that. If you did the math wrong, then you could certainly get in trouble. Good Luck! I hope you get this worked out and don't get fined.
