I think you quoted the wrong person. Unless you meant she had a fake i.d. that would fool the people in the close circle? I'm sure they would know it was fake.
I may have. Someone mentioned that fake ID's are expensive. I am not referring to fooling people in the close circle. I've never known someone in her age group who demanded to see someone else's ID to establish age.
I do know people (all of them girls, but might not be representative) who got multiple fake ID's. And I've read police reports about people with multiple fake ID's (still a lot of girls, but also boys).
These ID's are quite convincing. I would not know they are fake - the fake birth certificate, in particular, was pretty amazing. It's quite simple to do with a scanner and real idea and some photoshop skills. Some popular AI programs (NOT chatgpt) also will do this and give you the pdf. Get some lamination products and you've got a new ID.
The last case I read about someone with several ID's (this is from police files) had about 10 of them. Not just for age reasons, although she started that way, but to evade LE and other issues in her life. Able to get a credit card, for example.
It's a misdemeanor to possess one, of course. In expensive clubs, bouncers get far better training, but at the local liquor store (or while purchasing online), not everyone is trained to recognize them. Here's an example (made by a D.A. to illustrate the problem):
Obviously, the details have to be changed, but that's a fake ID and they cost $50-100 in DTLA.
