I believe the original case was around 1992 in the state of Wisconsin.
The reason I remember it so well was because a lot of night clubs had to
change there carding policy because of this judgement.
In Milwaukee there were numerions clubs that carded all Afro-American
males and seldom if ever carded Causasian or females. After this
judgement was passed they went to 100% carding policy regardless of age,
gender, or skin color. Most of these clubs ened up closing down within
the next few years because attendence dropped. On club owner explained
that 18 to 21 year old females brough in the male business, With 100%
carding these girls could not get in so the male clients dropped as
well. Then they said Afro-American as well as Hispanic males will
seldom if ever have an id so they will not come in with a 100% carding
policy.
It is hard to hold a policy of carding under 30 since it is just as
difficult to judge if someone is 30 as it is to judge if they mnight be
under 21. So they adapted a 100% carding policy at the advice of there
lawyers. In wisconsin now three underage incidents can lead to a loss of
liscense. I doubt I'll is much different.
