    I used to work at a bar in Washington State, and we were required to have an “ID Checking Guide” which was a little book that detailed the drivers licenses of ever US State, ever Mexican State and every Canadian Province with detailed descriptions of how to check it for authenticity, common signs of fakes, etc. and I remember thinking- the only thing this book is useful for is producing fake ID’s

      A lot of times you hear about bouncers ripping or taking “fake ids” and they’re the real ids and they have to call the cops and all that it doesn’t seem like a fun job, i would be so mad if i realized a customer used a fake id and then when turned of age used the real one.

      I'm a leap year baby and have heard many stories of other leap years getting their license taken (or just turned away) because "there aren't 29 days in February." 🤦‍♀️ I'm always worried that'll happen to me. So far, my only issue with this has been my first alcohol purchase. It was the 28th - which is when the state legally determined I was 21 since it was a non leap year. I celebrate on the 1st, so it was a fun "even though I'm technically legal, I feel like I'm cheating the system." Except...the system couldn't figure out what to do with my ID. They won't sell it in Ohio unless they can scan the bar code. When it was programmed I don't think they thought about that (wouldn't be the first time), so I was just SOL. My boyfriend bought it for us, since I *was* of legal age, but it sure took the wind out of my sails.

    • @SnowmanTF2
      @SnowmanTF2 Год назад +6

      I was just old enough to remember when the drivers license IDs were super bad quality when I was a kid, and noticed they were basically on par with high school IDs when I got there (basically typed form with a simple form background, with a sort of double sided clear plastic sticker placed on top). Decent odds related, with the tag agencies either encouraged/forced to donate or selling cheap to schools when had to upgrade to something actually taking more than trivial effort to fake.

    • @metehan_erdogan
      @metehan_erdogan Год назад +6

      The card quality is really bad now too. Until 2020, the license was printed on a thick plastic card, thicker/harder than credit cards. Now it's really thin (think of it as a slightly more durable health insurance card) and the holograms/shiny things aren't too obvious.

      @mechengr1731 3 месяца назад +2

      I never really looked at my license, so I didn't think I would care as much as I did when Scott disrespected it lol. The Pyramid may be a Bass Pro now, but when I was a kid, it was a museum too. It went through some changes over the years before it became a Bass Pro. That being said, they made it a tourist attraction inside. They did a really great job with the space. They have a mini 'lake' in the center that you have to walk on bridges to navigate with boats they're selling floating in the water. They have the lodge, an outdoors style hotel. Its stupid, but it looks fun lol. They also have the bowling alley, the restaurant, and the ride to the top is worth the price imo, because you can see the Memphis Skyline.
      I'm not saying people should come to Memphis for the Bass Pro, but if you happen to be passing through and have some time. Check it out.

    The flag of Oklahoma consists of a traditional Osage buffalo-skin shield with seven eagle feathers above the word Oklahoma in white on a Choctaw sky blue field. The buffalo shield is covered by two symbols of peace: the Plains-style ceremonial pipe representing Native Americans, and the olive branch representing European Americans. Six golden brown crosses, Native American symbols for stars, are spaced on the shield.

    The lines and marks over the faces (and any weird out of place lines) are probably where holographic, reflective, or off-angle stuff is printed/stickered on. Since they're just still images they look weird, but you were right about it being there to make it "harder" to replicate. Like the Florida license, the grayscale picture overlapping the ID photo is meant to be viewed off angle or under the right lighting conditions, and is just barely there when looked at directly.

    In Michigans’ defense, there’s an “MICH” made from tiny holes on the ID that let light shine though, and there’s two more silvery blue pictures of the bridge when the license catches the light just right at the bottom of the license. It’s a bit bridge heavy though.
