Now I'm a bit more confused, because this is from the 2009 handbook yet the link to the October 1, 2008 notice says:
2008 Driver License Handbook Insert
Term Changes (Pages 10 and 11):
For U.S. Citizens and Immigrants with Permanent Legal Presence
• Class E driver licenses for customers under age 80 will be valid for 8 years. Class E licenses for
customers 80 and older will be valid for 6 years.

Sounds like your mileage will vary...
Okay, to reconcile this in my mind I went back to the Florida Motor Vehicle code for 2001 and 2002.
Since this was an original (new) issuance of a class E license, the code in both years had an expiration date of midnight on the licensee's birthday which next occurs on or after the sixth anniversary of the date of issue. It's not until you renew that the business about less-than-safe drivers getting four year renewals kicked in.
The code changed to eight years for everyone under 80 in October 2008. I'm guessing they put the notice of the change in the on-line Drivers Handbook but left the rest of the text the same, so that it matched the printed version which may have been printed for 2009 already (The PDF document says that it is an "insert")
So assuming ZG2 dob is as on the citation, 01/11/86, and she got her license on her 16th birthday on Friday 1/11/02 and not a few days later, it would expire on midnight of 1/11/08 (otherwise it would expire on 01/11/09). So this is possible.
So depending on the date in May '08 it could have been expired less than four months, so Florida 322.065 would apply.
Were this Casey--aside from a premeditated alibi/Nanny did it defense--it doesn't seem that such a fake id would be of much value to her. The birthdate is only a couple months earlier than hers, so not too much use for under-age clubbin'.
Florida drivers licenses are fairly complex, so I'm guessing that a fake id good enough to fool an officer would be expensive. They have a mag-strip with identification info that's commonly used by more than just LE, there's holograms, an embedded digitized picture and an encoded high density bar-code as well.
Along with the change of license expiration dates on October 2008, there was a tightening of documenting a SSN numbers for licenses that might explain why an SSN for ZG2 was never verified.
Again, aside from a premeditated alibi for defense, I'm stuggling to find utility in paying fines for infractions on an expired license with an address that doesn't seem traceable back to Casey. Why not ditch this ID and start anew with a new fake ID, unless the identity has special value to you.
Pre-emptive edit: I was fixated on the license expiration & fake ID, and hadn't seen the discussion about the finger printing (when did this get in the code? after 9/11?)
