JRN 200 Fake ID recap

I interviewed Allie Cetina, an underage MSU student and Jenna Morris.

Allie and Jenna were basically on the same page about the fake ID use at MSU. They both talked about how the bars are really easy here to get into; there is no real trouble with that.

They both talked about how a lot of their friends all have fake IDs as well and go out with them every weekend.

Cetina doesn’t even have a fake ID, and can still manage to get into the bar, she said.

Cetina and Morris both said that they feel comfortable using fake IDs to the bars but are little bit more scared when it comes to trying them out at the local liquor stores on campus.

I am doing a story on fake ID use at Michigan State University, and I am going to talk to a few students and get some insight on how they feel about the matter. I am going to talk to bouncers at Rick’sAmerican Café and The Land Shark Bar and Grill in East Lansing. I’m going to talk to the bouncers and see what happens when fake IDs come across their hands and if the police get involved. I am going to try to interview some students who are underage and have friends that use fake IDs to get in to the bars. Also I am going to try to discover if the liquor stores are hard on the students when using fake IDs. 

JRN 200 Lowering Legal Drinking Limit Recap

Since testing for impairment follows arrest, not the other way around, enforcing such a law would be a hurdle. 

Christina Briones, from Troy, Michigan, said it could help reduce many car accidents and create revenue for the government. 

If the cops are cracking down harder than maybe people will change their minds about drinking and driving, Briones said.

Kat Amalfitano, from Traverse City, Michigan said, the lowering of the drinking and driving limit would be beneficial for Michigan because hopefully it would lower the number of deaths caused by drinking and driving. 

Both the two people from Michigan that I interviewed did not oppose the law being passed, and in fact encouraged the law to be made. 

JRN 200 Lowering Legal Drinking Limit

TheNational Transportation Safety Board is talking about cutting the legal drinking limit for driving down from 0.08 alcohol consumption level 0.05, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

The goal is to discover what other people think on this possible law change and get some information on the actual law. 

Interviews with residents of Michigan, Christina Briones and Kat Amalfitano can inform us on the public opinion of this possible law change. 

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety said the probability of a fatal crash increases steadily with increasing driver BAC. 

Fatal crash risk increases substantially after 0.05 percent BAC and climbs more rapidly after 0.08 percent. ‪At all BACs, the fatal crash risk is much higher among 16-20 year-old drivers than among drivers 21 and older, according to the The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.

Jrn 200 The Aftermath of Dinner At The Phi House

The tacos that Marsha made were a hit. Everyone ate every last bit of the food she put out.

Everyone was waiting in line out the door before Marsha even put the food out for us.

She brought the tacos out with chicken, beef, and Mexican Rice. She ended up bringing out nacho cheese and tortilla chips, instead of Mexican bean dip.

Marsha brought out the dessert at the end of the dinner. She ended up making chocolate brownies.

Everyone ran to the desert table and devoured the brownies one by one.

At the end of the dinner, everyone went up to the living room and jumped on the couch; tired from all the food everyone ate.
