Issues with identification

Catch of the Day · #1 06-13-2005, 03:30 AM

Purely speaking in the hypothetical...

say your name is uh...Evan.

and say that a big black bouncer just took your only I.D. at a pool hall in downtown Berkeley.

Now, given those two things, one could say that this "Evan" character, would be pretty screwed for a certain rendezvous taking place in 72 hours in Laaaas Veeeegas.

Since the loss of identification would pretty much put a damper on your up and coming trip...

basically, would there be any way of obtaining replacement identification within the given time frame?

say you live in the bay area.

If you were in the Los Angeles area, you could go to MacArthur Park. I dont know anywhere in the bay area.

hey do you have any more info about the fake id's at macarthur park besides that you can get em at alvarado and 6th street? i have spoken to a few people who have gotten it there and they say its a pretty sh1tty fake. do you have any personal experience with it? im seriously contemplating getting one over there, i just don't want to pay for a sh1tty fake that won't work.

A while ago I did acquire some identification nearby MacArthur park. The service was excellent, it was ready within an hour. The price was pretty decent ($50-$60 depending on your negotiating), and the quality was decent. It was not the best i've ever seen, but pretty good.

I used it in vegas a week later and played quite a bit of blackjack and poker at many different casinos. I was carded at every poker room I played at and never had any problems.

ok i am convinced. going to get a fake id there ASAP.

the price is no object. i would glady pay 300$,400$,500$ and up for a flaw-less fake.

could you please pm me the details? the procedures, the exact place/locations? is it scannable and blacklight? do you get to pick your name and address? holla back mang.

MacArthur park isn't there for quality. It doesn't scan, doesn't work under a blacklight, and if you really know what the ID looks like it is pretty easy to tell. However, the real issue is that most places do not care at all.

The protocol? Walk down the street. As you start walking down, guys that are sitting on the side of the street will stand up and walk beside you, and whisper "papers... papers?" or "id... id?"

And yes, you pick all your information, they will even take your photo for you at the various photo booths along the street. Your best bet is to park on one of the sidestreets, and just start walking up alvarado at around 6th street towards macarthur park. Mid-afteroon is probably the best time to go, but im sure they dont go anywhere.

hmmm it's hard to imagine that a a fake id like that would not get spotted in vegas at all.

i just want a fake that can get me into the commerce, the bike, and hawaiien gardens. have you used it at any of those places? im not gonna be using it for stupid sh1t like alcohol or clubbing.

well i guess if it works in vegas then it'll work in cali. or maybe not... maybe vegas personal isn't as specialized in spotting cali id's because they get visitors from all over the US. i would imagine cali security guards would be better and more trained in spotting cali fake id's.

Poker rooms in general do not care at all, especially in vegas. Before I took my trip to macarthur park I used a home-made ID that was perhaps the crappiest piece of laminated paper the world has ever seen. The edges weren't even, if you looked at it you could see where it was not cut properly, and yet it still worked in vegas.

It was never rejected at multiple casinos and cardrooms. If you are caught, you will not be arrested. They will take you into a room, ask for your real ID and information. They will write it down and take a picture of you, and tell you to never come back.

I've never been to commerce or the bike so I cant comment about those.

how would they know your real id and info? obviously i won't be carrying my real id with me so how would they know who i really am. and legally i think they can arrest you and put you in some deep sh1t.

where do you live? i assumed you lived in southern ca because you said you got your id in LA. but then you say that you've never been to any of those LA cardrooms so im guessing you're not from around here.

No I live in LA. I go to vegas for vegas, but if im going to play at home I just play online.
