If a cop stops you and check the license in the system, will he find out its fake?
Edit: wow, I appreciate all the responses. I'll try to make a tl:dr real quick.
tldr: use it for eyeballs only, not for legal purposes.
Edit 2: I just found a well rated vendor with over ~300 deals that states "IDs will scan at; banks, airports, police checks, grocery, liquor, bars etc." All the feedbacks gave 5/5. How does that work?
I'm not sure if I can link it here as I don't want to be suspended.
So lets think about this in a manner that's pretty simple.
Your state/drivers lisence has a number with a magstrip.
If you have a MagStrip reader, the information on it will list
The number on the card corresponds to a database with all the above information and obviously more.
When a Law Enforcement Officer types that number into his scanner/keyboard, the information is sent to the database and see what it matches up with. The number needs to match the information that is printed on your card.
tl;dr Fake ID/Licenses are good for making it past anyone that doesn't have access to federal/state systems.
Now, I wonder if this applies to getting a PO Box in a fake name?
