How Do Fake IDs Assist In The Corruption Of Minors

How do fake IDs assist in illegal activity in underage minors? We think that with the use
of fake IDs, minors are able to obtain things they would not be able to get without a fake
id, thus increasing the use of alcohol (going to bars), and underage smoking.  It also
increases other things that minors would not be able to do, such as get into over 18 clubs,
R rated movies, buy spraypaint and weaponry such as boxcutters.
     The problems of the underage youth using fake IDs to buy substances, and do
things that they would normally not be able to do without the use of a fake ID, is an age
old problem.  With the help of computers and scanners, making fake IDs is simple, and the
results are usually high quality.1  Computer technology offers rich possibilities for fraud.
A document scanner can "read" a picture and "draw" a copy onto the memory of the
computer.  Laser techniques are used to convert the image to digital data. A copying
machine developed by Xerox for the Department of Defense as a tool in high-speed map
making can also make good copies of driver's licenses.  It is also possible to rearrange
images on a computer.  Document scanners and fast color printers make it easy to fake
images and documents.  Through digital retouching, computer-generated images can be
combined in new ways, unwanted images can be deleted (such as UNDER 21 written on a
license), and colors and fonts can be added and changed. What is usually changed on a
fake ID used by a teenager is the birthday, thus making the person older then they are.
Although many states offer ID cards with holograms, double pictures of the person, and
other features that thwart alterations and reproduction of the ID cards, the use of
fraudulent identification is increasing in the United States.2
     Obtaining ID cards is incredibly easy for an underage teenager. They can be
obtained from older siblings, friends, and relatives. Another thing that underage people do
is buy a friend's ID who is over the age of 18 or 21, and have them report it stolen. In
addition to that, there are stores where you can go to buy fake IDs. On the web, you can
just type in www.fake-id.org and you have access to buy fake IDs. When buying a fake id,
the store or webpage usually has a disclaimer saying they will not be held liable for your
actions, and that the ID is a "novelty card".  Before entering most "how to make/buy fake
IDs" webpages, the disclaimer states "I am at least 1...
