It seems reversed, that the default is legal eligibility, and that minors should need to prove their status. They're the ones who need policing, after all, not us.

For instance, it's not illegal for me to be served alcohol. If I'm not carded when being sold a drink, nothing illegal has taken place.

If the lawmakers are being cowards and not saying they want to round up and ID all the children from birth until they are eligible to participate in the adult world, that's their battle to fight and not our burden.
