I was in a jurisdiction in Texas once where the lawmakers and police would assure the locals that they did 'random monthly checks' on liquor stores and bars to make sure they were carding minors.
And then they would turn around and assure the liquor stores and bars that they would 'give due notice' 48 hours before 'random checks' would occur.
Oddly enough, nobody ever got in trouble for failing to card minors in that jurisdiction. But a lot of adults did get carded unexpectedly. Go figure.
