Are you faking it

According to MCC students, and “Superbad’s” McLovin, the 25-year-old organ donor from Hawaii, when it comes to using fake IDs, some people have been faking it.
Ashley Daly, 24, an art student at MCC, said she used a girlfriend’s ID for nearly two years at local bars before being caught and arrested.
“It’s the forbidden fruit, we all want what we can’t have. Now I’m on probation and paying a ton in fees,” Daly said.
The days of using an older sibling’s pub pass are becoming outdated.
The use of fraudulent identification, no matter the purpose, is a violation of its state-issued purpose and is being prosecuted more severe than in the past.
Who knows if it is the forbidden fruit or fruit soaked in vodka, when thinking about faking it, consider the facts.
Standard consequences in Arizona can include community service, fines, loss of your license and felony charges resulting in jail time.
Most incidents in which a fake ID is confiscated will go unreported, only resulting in the loss of the precious “booze badge.”
However, if the police are involved, guarantee they will be serving a pint-sized glass of trouble.
Bouncers and bartenders are hip to the underage drinker, saying minors lack confidence when impersonating some one else. The body language is uneasy and eye contact is minimal.
“I was asked my birth date, my age, my address and I answered everything perfectly. As the bartender starred me down though I got nervous, I knew I was done for, I’m sure my expression gave me away,” Daly said.
Daly, like many others, crack during the shakedown, resulting in a worst-case scenario, getting busted.
A quick internet search rounded up a multitude of websites offering fake IDs complete with holograms and bar codes.
The total party package rings up from $150 to $200.
Another method for obtaining the “Cabo cantina” card is a do-it-yourself project by downloading ID card templates, photo editing to produce standard images, printing on high quality inkjet printers and laminating.
Understand, making a fake ID for is highly illegal. If prosecuted, the possibility of jail time is likely.
With spring break right around the corner, the use of fake IDs is sure to have many faking it, until the dreadful day in which the real, underage person is exposed.
