Consequences of being caught with Fake ID?

Testify

Hi all,

One of my friends bought a driving licence online for something like 50 quid. Came there on Friday and it's the real deal, has the UV harps and the whole lot. He hit the town on Saturday and no questions asked anywhere.

Anyway, I'd like to get one myself, and what I want to know is, if I got caught, what'd the gardai do?

Tombi!

You go to jail for life.

biko

Gang rape in prison.

They'll take the ID off you, rustle your hair, and tell you to "run along scamp".

In this country he will probably do more time than a multiple rapist.

Probably nothing. From my experiences (never had a fake ID but saw others) the bouncer will had it back and wont let you in.

Tell him never to use it to drive as he will be hit with a charge for using a false instrument. A normal Garda might be fooled by it but the Traffic Corp would lamp it straight away...

End up on banged up abroad

They freeze your age if you get caught nowadays so even though you'd be getting older you'd be legally 16 for the rest of your life

Bouncer will most likely keep it and tell you to fcuk off.

Depends what you use it for, you could possibly be charged with fraud which carries a jail sentence. Someone else mentioned use of a false instrument, that's what they'd probably charge you with, if it were to happen, probably wouldn't.

It'd only be for getting into clubs

Back in my day there was a lad in secondary school who did it for you

Is there really much difference nowadays ?.

OP You could be caught if a garda calls in the license number and as it will come up not registered, you will get into some trouble, fraud etc etc.

Twenty years hard labour and salad tossing for you sonny.

Where To

Kids, don't be in any hurry to grow up.

You'll be old enough for long enough, believe me.

dirtyden

You will be grand is the only answer you need to know.

Just use it for buying beer and getting into clubs. Some of the copies are quite good but someone who knows what they are looking at will twig its a fake so expect at some stage to have it taken off you. As long as you dont use it as a driving license you most likely wont get any grief if someone catches you out.

Ordered mine today not so baaad

Faking a driving license will get you in serious trouble if caught by the guards.

Faking a student id, noone will care.

kirving

Yeah, you'd want to be some thick who goes around with a fake driving licence. Anyone can make a very realistic looking student card, which carries far less risk.

I hope whoever stole my passport a few years ago was imprisoned in some hellhole country for trying to use it. :-)

Mrs Garth Brooks

I'd like a fake student card. I miss the discounts. Where do I get one?

The offence is as follows



Using false instrument.

26.—(1) A person who uses an instrument which is, and which he or she knows or believes to be, a false instrument, with the intention of inducing another person to accept it as genuine and, by reason of so accepting it, to do some act, or to make some omission, or to provide some service, to the prejudice of that person or any other person is guilty of an offence.

(2) A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable on conviction on indictment to a fine or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 10 years or both.

Any pub accepting such a document and serving alcohol will get into serious trouble including a closure order.
