Getting a fake I.D?

Green Faded · Sep 1, 2014

Hey guys, I was thinking about getting a fake I.D lately and i'm 16 but i got a grown beard making me look 18-20, is getting a fake id worth it to get 21/18 so i can buy me a pack of cigs/pack of beer?

what's the type of risks of getting one

Depends what country you're in, in the UK I think all that will happen is it will get taken off you and torn up unless you get caught using it for something pretty serious.

Why do you feel the need to go get drunk and smoke cigarettes at your age anyway? Plenty of ways to have fun without damaging your health.

A fake would get you cigarettes and beer from *most* gas stations, depending how you look and how ghetto the gas station is. You could probably pass for 18 as a 16 year old, but you might run into issues trying to buy beer.

Wouldnt bother. More trouble then they are worth unless you are really into clubbing. Its considered a pretty serious crime these days with identity theft and whatnot being so rampant.

In shitty neighborhoods you are likely to not be asked for an ID anyways. Troll through the lower end areas and hit gas stations till you find a winner. Or pull a hey mister.

Fake IDs are just asking for trouble.

It's a federal crime to have a fake I.D. is it not? I think your safest bet would be find a friend that looks like you and just use that I.D. Unless you don't care about the risk, then go for it!

The consequences really depend where you're at but most of the time, they'll confiscate it but that depends on how legit the fake looks. Get it done well and it'll come in handy on days they ask for an ID and when you want to get in clubs.

EDIT: most kids I knew had fake IDs. None of them ever ever got involved with the police. Only turned away. Obviously, I'm not talking about using it in srs crimes.

When i use to go out with my buddy's from work I was just turning 17 and wasn't able to buy Beer, I used a Fake I.D and everything worked fine. The only thing i would be cautious is how you look, do you look old enough?
