if absolutely needed it’s easy enough to just take any new dating prospect to a bar and let the bartender card them.

FYI this is not allowed to be used as a defense in court in some states (e.g. mine). If you card them and they have a fake ID, you're still criminally culpable for anything untoward.

    Seriously, what's the option - oh you look slightly young, let me see your birth certificate? Wait that might be a forgery, show me your driver's license? Wait, that might be a forgery - show me an x-ray of your bones so I can analyze your growth plates.

    Fucking hell

    Yeah that doesn't sound right, even ethically.

    If by your sincere knowledge you're having a date with an adult, you shouldn't get in trouble for anything

    Sure

    That is still not right though. If someone looks and acts 18+ and has a fake ID saying they're 18+ and they turn out yo be 16, well, there comes a point where you really handled in good faith. When good faith becomes punishable, were in bad territory
