Man Tries to Use Fake ID to Get Past TSA

- @Copwatchtv obtained body camera footage of an incident at an Albuquerque, New Mexico airport.
Around 7AM on July 18th, 2024, the Albuquerque Aviation Police department was called to the TSA check point area in regards to a man trying to get past the TSA checkpoint with what appeared to be a fraudulent identification card.
The officers made contact with the man who identified himself as Francis Bilek out of Illinois. Officers observed the security features on the ID card were damaged and missing some holographic designs.
The man told officers that the reason for the damaged ID was because he left it in a car in direct sunlight. In obtained body camera video, the male was very evasive in his answers and did not properly answer the officers question. The officers on scene for some reason did not push harder into their investigation to have the man provide additional identification.
The FBI took over the investigation.

Sloppy police work there. Single male traveling alone on a one way ticket with a fake ID should be raising red flags all over the place.
I , for One, would Not get on that flight if I were privy to what was going on with this guy… NO WAY!! I’d Definitely reschedule for another flight. And I’d let the others in line to board Exactly Why I wouldn’t be taking That flight and report the indiscretion by Staff Immediately!!
Using a fake ID is a felony in most states and arrestable in all of them.
Immigration laws are different, police don’t deal with every jurisdiction. You have different jurisdictions and powers of arrest. This is a border and immigration problem not local police.
@@susanbengston3208 no one asked for your report

Cop says that he hasn't committed a crime yet. How about possessing a fake ID? How about using a fake ID?
Lazy cop.
Right!
This is typical with ABQ cops. They are useless. Trust me, I live in this ghetto desert.
Immigrants get a free pass
@@timhick6lmaooo this isn’t true and you watch too much TV
No ID, no credit card, but somehow will still be able to rent a car?!
Also people can take loans out in your name without a photo ID - Be careful out there - Crazy times...
Oh, you’re not getting it. He has a completely different set of credit cards/ID for that. Different persona. 🤬🤬🤬
And vote 😬
I got stuck at an airport that wouldn't let me rent a car, not because I didn't have a credit card, but because it had a chip and their machine only swiped... and this guy gets one?
@@Candigale😂
That is one suspicious mofo. I am floored that trying to pass a fake ID at TSA is not an actual crime. WTAF?
It definitely is. Having a fake ID in general is illegal in ever single state. Let alone trying to use it. Let alone for something like TSA clearance for a plane. They should have taken him to jail to fingerprint ID him or hold him till they can ID him.
Instead they went through the hassle of calling the airline for him to cancel and get his money back 😂
More worried about a water bottle then the guy with no valid ID.
No kidding, harasses the passenger with a water bottle while not asking the guy with the fake ID any real questions.
@@sirhoopalot1 That Cop would be better off passing out peanuts at the carnival.
Right 😂 I had an energy shot in my bag and it got flagged(it passed but literally a hassle) and the guy had to do a deep inspection. Oooo an energy shot is so dangerous compared to the guy with a fake ID
@domjonasxo7641 wait you honestly don't understand why the liquid can be very unsafe?
@@jamesedwards6553yes I honestly do realize that liquids can be dangerous. My point was the one cop didn't seem concerned at all about this man with no id of any kind
They don't even make an attempt to positively ID him before cutting him loose. Who is this guy? Geez! The airline rep does a better job of asking him questions. Shame on Albuquerque PD.
Youre exactly right. And he gave a totally different story to the rental car employee. The cop couldve ran him by his SSN at the very least, and NCIC wouldve been able to access a photo.
why do i have a giant feeling the both of you have no idea what you are talking about.....
@@TheDudeMaaaan You can start with your ignorance
@@tomreid5002 lol yep as i thought you have no idea yet here you are speaking, so funny.
@@TheDudeMaaaan I do know. How do you think police identify someone on a traffic stop when they dont have their license on them? So stop, youre making yourself look pretty bad right now. Put the beer down and go to bed
Of all places to try a fake ID, A FUCKING AIRPORT?! Bro, I'm scared to even sneeze in a airport. I'm surprised this isn't a federal crime..
Okayyy😮😮😮😮
It isssssss..they didn’t want to deal with paperwork that day..guaranteed!
You can travel domestically without an ID.
@@Frank.Melendrez no, you can't. Your name has to match your boarding pass and the only way to check that is with an ID. Maybe you are thinking of a passport.
Only if you're an illegal. Tax payers have to do things the legal way or we go to prison. @Frank.Melendrez
Let me get this straight. Using a false ID to attempt to pass TSA isn’t a crime? Keystone Kops
I guess in the technical eyes of federal law, TSA agents are not law enforcement officers, they are transportation security officers which are different. So providing a fake ID to them is not providing fake ID to a LEO. But it is possession of the fake obviously.
It’s a crime to simply possess a forged ID in New Mexico,a misdemeanor.In the description it said the investigation was passed over to the FBI.I’m guessing it’s because attempting to use one for TSA is a federal crime.
It's crazy how often dumb cops don't even know the actual laws in their states, and if they can arrest people or not....
TSA are all DEI hires
Lazy copZZZzzzz
"Sorry guy with a fake ID trying to board a flight illegally. Want us to carry your bags for you sir? We are so sorry we caught your obvious felony. Don't worry though. We will get your money back so you can buy another fake ID and commit another felonious act. We worry more about a guys water bottle than a red flag of possible terrorism."
Should have been brought in for further questioning - too many red flags
The description says the FBI took over the investigation. Hopefully they will do due diligence.
Cop cares more about an unrelated person's water bottle than a fraudulent ID. He is a poor cop.
Water bottle guy was not having it. This cop made several bad decisions that day.
Welcome to New Mexico. Where the cops don't give a shit And trust me on that I see it every day. 24:01
agreed. as soon as he called the cop out responding he was planning to throw it out in the trash they offer right at the line, which is 100% what its for, he turned to everyone else and complained. Says everything we need to know about him.
He was committing Identity fraud bc it belonged to someone else.
Presenting a fake ID isn't a crime? Are you kidding me ?
And he is not from Illinois - the "s" is silent. He is obviously committing some kind of fraud. This was a huge failure on that cop.
For real. WTH?
Probably not even American
There was definitely sketchy stuff going on, but I'm from Illinois and know people that grew up there that pronounced the S. It was unreal lol
They keep saying, "He hasn't committed a crime." But, isn't presentation of a fraudulent identification document a crime?
It's Albuquerque. I live here. The cops are useless and the citizens are demonic.
Exactly👀🤦🏻♀️
It’s mind boggling!
It's New Mexico. The bar is extremely low in the state
Especially at an airport.
That was one ignorant cop. He should be in major trouble for just letting that guy walk.
yes
That guy was happy to walk, definitely a pro. What a complete joke.
You can tell those cops really didnt want to do any work.
@lostinthedesert-hp4bw i heard it's actually really chill
@@chocolatecoveredgummybears "Chill"? At an airport?? lmao
Note to Police: Act like Police.
Yeah right
note to legislators: defund the police
@@PeriodicT us criminals approve of that note. Thanks for the support.
Dude with a backpack, inside an airport, attempting to board a flight, Fake ID, no documentation proving whe really is, and NOT a single LEO asked to search his the pack strapped to his back. WTF is wrong with this picture???
So many things! 🙄
This is normal in New Mexico. Half of the LEO'S are illegal cartel members.
His backpack is probably full of all of his other stolen identities. Blonde? Blue eyes?🤦♀
Unfortunately they don’t have probable cause to search him in this situation, and don’t say because of the fake id because legally they(at that moment) can’t prove if it’s fake as it registered as real with the slightly incorrect description. So essentially their hands are tied unless he slipped up and said something dumb
This cop is possibly part of an organized effort. He’s covering hard for the guy
Was it that cops first day on the job or something? This was handled so poorly.
TSA is notoriously incompetent.
@@thomashunt6000 that was the cops not TSA with the bodycam
He didn’t have a water bottle so investigation closed.
@@brucej.willson4764 my point still stands.
for real the cop believing that an ID sitting in the car would make the holograms disappear from it??? lmao
Wait..."He speaks and understands English fine so there's no problem"???? THAT'S the full extent of this cop's "terrorist screening"?
The incompetence is mind boggling - red flags galore!
"You guys can deny him boarding, but that's it. He hasn't committed a crime, yet."
Wait, isn't presenting a false ID a crime?
That’s what I thought…it’s not against the law that day because the cop didn’t want to do all that paperwork…
I believe that having fake identification can technically be a federal crime.
Makes me wonder if the cop’s valid.
Maybe there wasn’t enough evidence to assume it was fake? I don’t get it.
I also don’t get why he didn’t just take a bus or train.
100% it is! Even by New Mexico state law, it’s a felony. But there’s likely also a federal criminal statute he violated. PLUS, if they had investigated, they would have uncovered a lot more crimes, that he was attempting to conceal w/the fake ID.
I am unsatisfied. Those cops should have investigated more. That guy was suspicious as hell.
Illegal to attempt to use a fake ID to buy alcohol but not to use at an airport…
Pretty sad when an airline representative does a way better job asking investigative questions then actual cops. Also, cops:” we won’t let you board but go rent a car even though you don’t have a valid driver’s license”. What? Incompetent cops
Exactly! It’s really mind boggling- this cop needs to go back to school…it makes no sense.
This PD is embarrassing. This guy has been told it’s a fake ID..: and he has no reaction, nothing to say
"You guys can just deny him boarding, he hasn't committed a crime yet though" Since when is using a fake ID not a crime????
The officer was tougher on the water bottle guy.
That’s what I thought too 😆😆
9:58 trying to use a fake ID to board a plane is not a crime? But using a fake ID to get into a bar is a felony???
But your ass better not bring that water through security!! 15:35
What state you live I NEVER HEARD THAT IS A FELONY TO ENTER A BAR WITH FAKE ID the you know how many college kids enter bars with fake is and get busted …… is misdemeanor
That how things are when democrats are in control of the country. Welcome to the Biden/Harris administration.
Who in the fuck told you using a fake ID to get into a bar is a felony??? Lol Jesus you guys are killing me...
@@michaelhaydenbell
The reason I know, a friend of mine got popped with a fake ID trying to get into a bar, she was on 19 at the time and they nailed her.

He's sketchy as hell
Lol, can't take water past tsa but you can use a fake id. 😅
Pretty much 🙄
Isn’t presenting an invalid ID to TSA a crime in and of itself a crime?
In fairness the TSA thinks *everything* is a crime.
They were sloppy
So they just let an unidentifiable man present fraudulent identification and then walk out without trying to ID him?
This dude is way too chill.
The only people who don’t “exist” in this country are very suspicious. He didn’t even say he could call someone.
Sad part is, this man was up to no good. None of this makes sense.
His stuff was stolen but then he told the Southwest rep “what about my checked bag”...WTF....red flag warnings everywhere!!!
No law broken? He's using an ID that isn't his!!!
So you know how many immigrants would be arrested if that was the case? They have to let people use fake IDs
He's not happy?!? He's using someone else's ID. Who cares if he's happy or not?!?
They said "ID was valid, but doesn't match suspect's description".
Sounds like unauthorized use of a stolen ID credentials...
Is there an authorized use of stolen credentials?
My very valid ID doesn’t match my description either 😂
Possession of a fake ID isn’t a crime anymore?
It still is, lazy pd won't enforce it.
There’s no way leaving your drivers license or ID in a car for two weeks fades out the hologram that’s stupid really !!! So they’re not letting him on the flight because the ID is fake. How’s he going to get a rental car? He doesn’t have a proper ID or drivers license confiscate damn card and send him on his way. Who says that that the name on the ticket is even him so they’re gonna give him back money …that might not even be his ticket. He could’ve stole it from somebody. Really!!!
He even responded with a skeptical look on his own face, saying something like pretty much, when questioned if leaving it in a hot car is what damaged it. How did they not notice that!
He probably had other ID or DL stashed somewhere.
@@kaptainkaos1202 so the question is why wouldn’t he show his real ID? Obviously he had ID stashed otherwise how could he have rented a vehicle but it’s kind of shady don’t you think somethings not right with that guy…
@@MichelleMyBell I think he was looking for vulnerabilities in the system or actually planning something.
@@kaptainkaos1202 exactly shady !
Isn't presenting a fake id to federal officers a crime?
It’s a federal crime and city cops can’t arrest for those. We live in a weird country.
TSA screeners aren’t federal law enforcement
@@roberthill4236
Thankfully the younger Officer was there. the older one did not seem to want to be bothered in.Would have let him fly. that is scary. The southwest lady did better questioning than the cops. Should put her in charge!!
Why were they looking for him at the car rental? They should've arrested him for trying to board a plane with a fake ID!
The fact that the guy didn't just admit it but instead stood there through this entire long process shows he's a desperate liar.
It worked tho 🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT INCRIMINATE YOURSELF PEOPLE (but also don’t commit crimes)
Not desperate, he was a well trained pro.
Or very well trained.
Can’t they legally detain him, obtain his social, and determine if the ID was genuinely fake or not? It obviously was, but how is this convo nonchalant??
Not in Biden America man. That's a big No-No!
You know the guy is lying the way he shifts his eyes and makes no eye contact.
He doesn't have to speak with an accent to be a bad actor! Many "home grown" and sleeper cells in the US!
Seems like you speak from experience. Good look to you and your cell brother ✋
The guy wasn’t even shocked that his ID was fake, if I was told that I would be so confused like what do you mean it’s fake?! This guy got a fake ID to travel because he’s clearly trying to stay under the radar or avoid something. I can’t believe he wasn’t arrested for trying to use a fake ID to get on a plane. And I agree the southwest rep. did a better job of grilling this guy than the police did.
Those cops were so unbelievably inept. They let him go?
Making sure someone is not boarding with water but perfectly fine to have a suspect passport? Man, this officer is shit at his job.
wtf dude this is weird as hell
My god, I'd hate to see what would happen if any of these geniuses had to solve a major crime. This was like the blind leading the blind. I thought just possessing a fake ID was a crime and this guy is trying to use it to board an airplane. It's like everyone who worked at that airport was either incompetent or just didn't care...probably both.
Time to hop on the Greyhound, as nothing you say makes ANY sense.
These cops have maybe like 5 brain cells between all of them
What a joke and a failure of all involved.
TSA actually did a better job than the Police. They identified the fake ID, and called it out. The Police defended the man. That airline rep as well took it seriously. All terrorists know know that they are completely safe there, now they just have to get past TSA screening.
Im 4 minutes in, and I say drug mule. Someone else rented the car for him to drive drugs out. Then fake id to fly home so there isnt a trace. Maybe?
i would be relieved to know it was only drugs and not worse intentions
What scary is that he was able to get his luggage checked without a proper ID….😳
Worst airport ever
But I like the short lines!😄
No, it's the police who are bad. ABQ is a nice airport.
apparently you only get arrested if you posses fake ID trying to get inside a bar or buying alcohol but not at the airport ...
he isn't even a good liar
WTF? Fake ID. The cops don't know who he is, and they cut him loose.
If its a “real number” and a valid ID isn't it identity theft and a crime?
Yes having a false or tampered with identification is a crime. Yes presenting it to tsa is a crime. Yes failing to ID someone trying to avoid identification and committing the crime of presenting falsified identification to a government agency is ridiculously negligent. 100% This guy is wanted and committed further crimes and you let him walk away without even confirming who you were speaking to. 👍
How does this man function in everyday life? I'm surprised he remembered to wear pants.
Cop doesn't question why he's using a fake ID? 🤔 🤦♂️
This is actually quite interesting… I wish we could learn why he tried to fly with a fake ID
He's one of crooked Joe's illegals
This entire thing blows my mind!!!! A guy uses a fake ID to try to get on a plane and they just let him go! I'm glad i don't fly!!!
How does a forged identity get you less in trouble than when your carry-on bag is an inch too wide.
Welcome to Joe Bidens America. Dems love criminals
Must have been end of shift for those cops. Saying no crime committed means no paperwork.
Supervisor came out and did the cops job 🤣
The van will hold a whole lot more fertilizer than that backpack will…
If this were a busy airport like Atlanta, Phoenix, Los Angeles or Chicago no way would they go through all of this. They'd tell him to go pound sand and probably arrest him too.
Rent a car???? He can’t do that either w/o a VALID ID…no rental for him…he is scamming something!
Car rental won’t run a scan like TSA
he def had another ID. the lady cop said the DL# on the rental car paperwork as different than the ID they checked earlier
Tip of the day:
If you´re feeling lucky, buy a powerball ticket.
There´s no money in faking past an airport checkpoint.
There's no wonder why this country is so fucked up
This country is so ass backwards it’s insane
No drivers license? How is he going to rent a car? No Credit Card? How do they know who this person is? What is he trying to hide? The cop doesn’t know this?
He did have a credit card. The car rental lady said she would look up the last 4 digits.
He should have just told them he was illegal. NO PROBLEM GET RIGHT IN
They would’ve upgraded him to first class
Or a trump voter and a felon using fake ID.
Free stay at a luxury hotel (maybe)❗😃
Here’s your room key for the Hilton and he’s an iPhone 15 pro
@@briangray5921 or a Trumper felon
Unacceptable!!!! He should have been arrested for attempting to board with false ID So dangerous!!
How is having a fake id not a crime I'm confused. Also how do you rent a vehicle one way with no ID and no credit card. Also assumed he has not captured due to the FBI taking over
He ain’t renting a car either
@@sarat3913yes he did rent a car. Watch the very end of this video.
*Im starting to believe these cops were just lazy… smh*
How could using a false ID at a TSA check point... To much time wasted on the idiot.
How is falsely identifying yourself to a federal agent not a crime?
Thank goodness the short older cop doesn't work for TSA he'd let anyone fly. He kept saying the card was valid because the number matched but all the other info and description was wrong so, "Not A Valid ID Card". No fly list is for criminals that are wanted in the US not just foreigners.
You would think a fake idea in an airport would cause alarm in any police officer, specially since 9/11. How can he say that’s not a crime to have a fake ID just because he’s flying domestically?
take him to jail to get fingerprints
The car he drove to Albuquerque was loaded, and now he needs to fly home ! Sounds like drop off successfully completed !
Pull up his name of the cell he has in his hand. Duh..
the back and forth about the water and then complaining to the staff after spoke volumes of what kind of cop this guy is.
They let him walk out of an airport without positively determining who he is. Oh, boy the debrief on this one is going to be painful.
*at least they passed it onto the FBI for further investigation and researched the car rental*
Yes he has fake ID is a crime
Apparently not in New Mexico 🤡
These weren’t APD’s best. Unforgivable apathy and not thinking about the bigger picture here.
Thank god the FBI took over the investigation. These cops were idiots.
Lmao fbi is a complete joke
There isn’t enough to arrest him. The ID came back as valid, even with the wrong descriptors it’s not enough for an arrest. That’s why there was no arrest.
Thank you for your common sense
You can come across the border into the states and not get arrested, they just reward you with a cash card and free rent and fly you anywhere around the country without an ID.
And a job at maralago!
ugh why cant people just live normal legit lives and stop scamming...so frustrating to live in this world at times
I remember the day when you could show up at the counter, pay cash and board a flight. Now you need to be fingerprinted, body scanned and strip searched for a domestic flight.
Yeah those days are so long gone bc of these times, high jackers, scammers , etc😮😮😮😮
I remember too. High jackers were in other countries.
Never been printed, those scanners are not taking an X-ray image of you btw. It’s looking for irregular clothing and objects. They are not seeing you nude. Check the screen next time. Also never been strip searched. Sucks to be you I guess.
You also did not have to use your real name. ID was not required.
Not to mention they allowed SMOKING on board!
UNBELIEVABLE! The airline supervisor investigated the issue better than the cop. Remedial training needed immediately!
Massive red flags flying high.
