The officer gives you a ticket and if you’re not an adult your parents pay the fine. It could also go further if a child with a report to protected services. But most likely just fines unless repeated. Whether the officer acts or not is individual. But if the officer at a a good one they will be diligent..

The UD owner would likely face consequences for not keeping their ID secure contributing to the diliquency of a minor if something happened to involve an investigation. However difficult to say. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/age-requirement-for-discourse/401602)._
