Consequences of being caught with Fake ID?

Testify · 24-12-2012 1:08pm #1

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?

You go to jail for life.

Gang rape in prison.

Praetorian Saighdiuir · 24-12-2012 1:11pm

Move on McLovin'!

PseudoFamous · 24-12-2012 1:13pm

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.

charlemont · 24-12-2012 1:14pm

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...

Touch your toes time I'm afraid:eek:

End up on banged up abroad

griffdaddy · 24-12-2012 1:17pm

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

TheBody · 24-12-2012 1:20pm

They will leave you with an asre like the Japanese flag!!

Taken to Federal Pound You in the Ass prison.

MaxSteele · 24-12-2012 1:22pm

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

Tails142 · 24-12-2012 1:26pm

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.

Testify · 24-12-2012 1:31pm

It'd only be for getting into clubs

mikemac1 · 24-12-2012 1:35pm

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

I didn't know they had a site for this

And Jim Corr is behind it!! :eek:

edit, first link in google, the mods will slap me down if I give a link

tacofries · 24-12-2012 1:36pm

nothung at all would happen. most wont let you in but then hand it back. some pricks keep it.

WoollyRedHat · 24-12-2012 1:37pm

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.

senorwipesalot · 24-12-2012 1:45pm

Twenty years hard labour and salad tossing for you sonny.

Where To · 24-12-2012 1:46pm

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

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

dirtyden · 24-12-2012 2:08pm

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.

Testify · 25-12-2012 7:46pm

Ordered mine today

not so baaad

BrokenArrows · 25-12-2012 7:50pm

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

Faking a student id, noone will care.

kirving · 25-12-2012 7:55pm

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 · 25-12-2012 7:58pm

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

ResearchWill · 25-12-2012 7:59pm

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.

Fom here http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/2001/en/act/pub/0050/sec0026.html#sec26

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

The relevant law in relation to a public house is here

They specifically brought back hanging for fake ID's OP........is it worth the risk to end up swinging from the gallows?

kirving · 25-12-2012 8:01pm

There's a lad, Deco who makes loads of them town. 13 Faic Street if I recall.

Testify · 25-12-2012 10:05pm

The places nearby only take licences , passports and age cards... Don't suppose anyone knows where to get fake age cards?
Need one for tomorrow..

3ndahalfof6 · 25-12-2012 10:08pm

Catch you.

If your sussed with a fake ID you just go knacker drinking with the rest of your mates who couldnt get in. Unlikely to get in any serious trouble.

Testify · 25-12-2012 10:45pm

That's the funny part - I don't drink... Just want to have a good time with the lads

Where and how can you get a drivers licence for 50 quid?Is there not something wrong with the picture here or is it just me????

26-12-2012 12:57am

I know someone that had a fake ID once.

You know what happened to him?

He died.

The same Barney Gumble that's chasing my sister?

smcelhinney · 26-12-2012 1:47am

Normally I'd have an opinion, but I was WAY off when I advised somebody recently about import taxes on garlic.

awkward...

I was thinking the same... After all it's a bit of paper and laminate... I'm pretty sure it's the uv markings that drive the price up.
