Fake ID Question

As for the Montana laws...they reinstated a speed limit about 5-6 years ago after too many out of state douche bags that thought they could drive, but infact could not, had too many accidents. I believe its now set at 75 for freeways in the day and 70 at night. And as for the 40 mph in the ice, I would have to disagree with that really being dangerous. I grew up in north east washington and have driven on some sheit roads. It really has to do with your experience and the car, if you are driving an old 63' Ford truck with bald tyres 40 mph on icy roads then I hope you do wreck. However, if you have a nice new Audi with good snow/ice tyres then I say more power to you.

Having just driven clear scott across Montana about 3 months ago, I can say for sure that it is 75. However, I saw signs saying that the speed limit was only enforced in construction zones, and it didn't even go down.

I have no problems with red light/speed cameras or GPS enforcement of traffic laws. I just don't want the fines to be attributed to a vehicle. They need to be tied to a driver...

...We also need to have fines (like in some countries) that are based on your income.

I don't know if it's true anywhere else but here if your car's recorded while someone else was driving all you do is fill out a form with their details and return it. I've never had to so I don't know what happens if the other person denies they're responsible.

Why have fines based on income? Does that give someone on welfare any incentive not to drive dangerously? No income = no fine.

The punishment should simply fit both the crime and the perpetrator regardless of income.

I believe most laws here in the States allows for you to turn in who was driving. Not sure how that really works though.

With fines towards income. The issue we have is that the fines can be considered a "cost of living" for some. An HOV violation is $75. For me that is a major hurt on the wallet. For others in areas like DC, that is what they earn in an hour.

I doubt it applies as she left, but at my university if you create anything with their logo on, or attempt to impersonate their documents, it's a disciplinary offence. They come down hard.

As for fake ID's, they're common in the UK. There's only a couple of forms of document which are legal proofs of age, and therefore the only ones accepted but some pubs run their own card systems and others near universities just ask for NUS (National Union of Students) cards.

We made fake drivers licenses years ago, they were excellent, unfortunately so excellent that everyone started making them and obviously word got back. Typically one security firm recruits across the whole town, so as soon as one bouncer knows every establishment in town knows. I was asked by one to show him the hologram on the card or I wasn't coming in, I spent a good ten minutes explaining why it was stuck in my wallet. He didn't buy it, and we left. As we left the bouncer at the next pub said "I've just been told you boys have got fake ID's" while waving his radio.

In the UK (and probably Europe-wide) you need a license to transmit on the FM frequency regardless of whether it's a low power iTrip of national broadcasting.
 
i know in california, anyone who furnishes a person under the age of 21 with an identification document (real or fake. i.e. someone that looks like the kid) to make them seem over 21 is guilty of a crime. over here the cops dont really care about kids having fake IDs to make themselves look older as long as its their real name and address on the IDs.. most people only get cited for "possession of 2 california identification cards."

why is using an itrip illegal? and where? so i know not to use it :p

It's only illegal in the UK.

It's illegal because all FM channels have been taken, and by transmitting one, you are in effect using a frequency that is already taken. If your neighbor picks up your transmission rather than what that frequency is supposed to be, that causes trouble.

In the UK, you could get 2 years in prison for it :eek:
 
state seal

Officially, it is illegal to forge the state seal, which is present on most, if not all, American id's. Even if you have your own name and address on it, and even if you never use it, making the id with a real-looking state seal is illegal.

My thoughts exactly. There has been enough info that one can do a more detailed search if they were so inclined.

I could go in detail on how do do such a search, but I won't.
