it’s not jsut nyu. most of the ny schools have sent out letters discussing fake ids.
a fake drivers license is a felony…in dutchess county which is a nice big fine and a min of 7 years in prison.

though for some reason… .a lot of other fake ids are only misdemenors (1 year in prison… and a lesser fine)

though i think the fake id thing has really been elevated in this country because of the whole homeland security thing. that’s probably one of the reasons it’s been up’d to a felony.

I’ve also commented on the underage id in bars/clubs etc before. The law is that they have to check your id and be reasonably convinced you’re over 21. “reasonable” is the word that keeps the establishment from being sued in court, fined, and losing it’s license. So most smart places are going to check… and they may know it’s a fake… but as long as they can protect themselves in court… they’re probably not going to care.
