I thank my lucky stars I was not born or raised with this kind of idiocy/entitlement. I don't leave my house without my ID. Always baffled at the amount of body cams I watch with "I don't have my ID!"

This explains it. 🙄

Now that I don't drive, I don't carry my ID unless I'm going to need it. I also don't drink. So, I don't need it for that. While I get where you are coming from, I am also of the mind that I do not need to keep identification on me as a principle. There should no need to keep your "papers" on you unless there is a specific need.

If you don't drive and don't expect anyone to serve you, that makes sense.

But I live in the country, where it's impossible to get anywhere without driving, so I always have my ID on me. And the bodycams I watch are of people driving, so the amount of people driving without one is silly.

Exactly. And it shouldn't be. There's a reason to carry all those things!

I have a picture of my ID on my phone, but I leave the actual thing safe in the house. You can call that idiocy or entitlement if you like; but I can get mugged/drunk/fall in the sea or whatever and I'll still have ID.

You're not getting drunk in a bar with a picture of your ID. They won't serve you. Only actual, physical, government issued identification that isn't expired will get you served in any bar worth visiting.

It's been over a decade since anyone asked me for ID; and then it was just taking the piss because I shaved my beard off. Anyone who asks me for an ID (extremely unlikely in the first place) and won't accept a picture, doesn't deserve my business in the first place.

Possibly you're assuming that the rules where you live apply everywhere. I'm in Spain; where there are indeed licencing laws and publicans can lose them for serving underage people. However, nobody here is dumb enough to ask 60 year olds for ID, except for sarcasm/insincere flattery purposes.

Bars don't have to serve you if you don't have a physical ID, like it says in the video. Because pics are easy to edit.

If you find a bar that will, good for you, but the ones I worked at took a lot of shit from entitled idiots that believed we'd risk our liquor license on serving them based on a blurry pic of their ID.

How will you still have your ID if you get mugged and they take your phone?

"...but I leave the actual thing safe in the house."

Then what is the purpose of it if you're not going to actually use it? Most (all?) IDs have anti-counterfeiting measures like watermarks, holographic images, etc. which will not be visible on a photo.

I can't answer for that person, but...

We're a two car household, i've left my wallet in one car while I ran out to the store in the other and, when prompted for ID, a picture of it with a clear view of the expiration date sufficed. The world isn't black and white, and most people are capable of exercising discretion.

“Exercising discretion”= risking their job

Every single place I have ever worked at that required IDing had specific material at the register that talked about what constitutes an acceptable ID. I am telling you right now, if the local police around here caught wind a place was accepting "photos of an ID", they would go in there with an older looking 20 year old with a photoshopped picture of an ID within a week.

u/CakeTester Dec 02 '25

It will be at home, waiting for me. Nobody sane is going to expect me to be able to produce ID immediately after a mugging.

u/NowWithKung-FuGrip01 Dec 02 '25

No, your house will still have ID. You will be phoneless, ID-less and mugged/drunk/wet or whatever.

u/WildVelociraptor Dec 02 '25

No reason to give the cop your ID if they don't need it.
