<p>I don't care if you have a fake id or buy alcohol from the illegal latino (he just HAS to be illegal, right?) in the corner store. Or if any of your friends do. As long as you confine yourself to the West End, you're not likely to find any trouble. Life is about having fun, enjoy.</p>
<p>Do you think I pulled the above scenario out of thin air? Happened to someone I knew during his sophomore year in college. He's probably happily living his life in his home country having just finished paying back his parents for the money they spent during those two years.</p>
<p>Having a fake id is, for some reason, a tradition for most teenagers. Just be aware of the consequences. An arrest only has to happen once and happen to you.</p>

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>Yes, you're right, no one gets arrested for using fake ids.</p>
