While owning a fake ID counts as a misdemeanor, people who are arrested for having fake IDs are typically charged with two misdemeanors -- one for holding fake identification and the other for falsely impersonating another person -- and two misdemeanors amount to a felony.

<p>Can you point me to a section of the NY Penal Law stating that two misdemeanors amounts to a felony? This strikes me as flat-out wrong, but I'm not sure.</p>
<p>Besides, most people with fake IDs aren't "falsely impersonating another person." They just have an ID that is a fake, not someone else's real ID. So there's only one misdemeanor at issue.</p>
