We have been more comfortable with ID cards- almost too much. A highly made ID card will fool most every common citizen as well as many in our law enforcement community. What number of TN State Troopers have ever even seen an Alaska driver license to find out whether it was fake you aren’t? The licenses from outside the state often won’t scan in other state’s personal computers anyways, so it is just a little bit of plastic using the person’s face on it.
Many major universities have a very cottage industry of faux photo ID businesses. It funds many a student’s college career, and allows many underage persons the ability to indulge in adult beverages at local college-town drinking holes.
Think about illegal immigrants or non-residents? They start having a fake “Guatemala National ID Card”, or such, you can use to cash checks, have a cell phone, or rent an apartment. Then together with the rental and speak to bill documents, you can obtain a local library card. Then, with this, you will get additional identification papers and finally collect enough stuff to obtain a real driver license. That’s what it is done. I welcome any State Attorney General (especially Tennessee) to experience a private and confidential conversation with me regarding this theory.
The worst scenario will be the fake Police ID card that allows you are not ill-intent to access a controlled area, or a fake Hospital ID card that allows someone entry to our medical facilities. Hollywood has depicted both scenarios in blockbuster films where fake IDs are used to gain access to sensitive areas.
