“Life date”

“Accepted for value”

Comedy gold 🤣

IIRC they avoid "Birth" like the plague because in Sovcit world "birth" actually means "berth" and means you're actually cargo bound by admiralty law or something nutty like that.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

This sounds so ridiculous it’s perfectly on par with these people. I love it.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (9 children)

I really feel for these folks getting conned into thinking that these will work for any identification requirement. So many contradictions, like why is there an expiration date? I suppose it adds to some legitimacy to the document for the sovcit crowd.

Expiration date

Repeatable grift!

[–] [email protected] 35 points 8 months ago

How else can you sell multiple to the same idiot?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

I'm curious where they get those official looking UN numbers. And also wonder where the QR code links to. I'm assuming it's random.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

There was another id posted before. If I remember right it leads to a page that also has all the information on the card.

Most of a QR Code is redundant data so it's still possible you can decode it, and the positioning marks are still there, but you'd probably have to remake the timing marks along the left, also idk how alignment marks work on a QR this big since some would be missing too (edit: actually only one and a half are gone).

I especially love the reference to UCC 1-207. That was renumbered 308 in 2004. More proof these people have no idea what they are talking about about, and are just repeating gibberish.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 8 months ago

I looked it up and besides what you pointed out, this law allows one to "reserve their rights when entering into a contract," but the contract must be agreed upon by both parties. Somehow, I don't think a city/county/state is going to recognize this as a driver's license, meaning it's a "contract" with only one party.

How much do they pay for these "IDs"? I need to get in on the sovcit idiot grifting game lmao I wonder how much a used ID printer off eBay is hmm

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You don't even have to bother with something as complicated as an ID. My mom spent hundreds on little metal disks that the seller claimed blocked 5g. She's got them all over her house: under all of her electronics, in her wallet, and anywhere else someone's managed to convince her needs to be protected. She's tried getting me to take some, crying that the 5g will make me infertile if I'm not "protected" by 1mm of aluminum.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Hopefully they are just aluminium, there have been quite a few quack devices that claim to do magical things including blocking 5G that actually contain radioactive material. Not super high levels, probably all just raw ore, but probably not something you'd want near you for a prolonged time.

Well, she's already dying of breast cancer that she found while it was still DCIS, but continues to refuse anything but quack treatments even as it's progressed to stage 4, so I doubt a bit of uranium ore will be what takes her out in the end.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I'm sorry to hear that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Lol having read dozens of other posts like this where people are talking about being in court for not paying their rent or credit card bill, I doubt you'll be able to get much money out of these people.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Well that's the thing, if you try to force money out of them after the fact, you will get a "coupon"

So you charge them up front for something you've convinced them they want, and suddenly money is a thing again

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Just be careful, you could be held liable eventually.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Probably it that much since these are the same people who think the US government turn their personal being into a corporation and they can pull from that equity

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (2 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

LMFAO the genius that is making these ID's is making them expire faster than most states. Gotta love how easy it is to take dumb people money

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Until they try to pay with the coupon!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

I can't believe he didn't pay for the 10 year card. It's a better value!

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (2 children)

With an expiration date? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Which expires in four years!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Grifting hard

Is it legal in the U.S. to produce fantasy documents that purport to be any kind of real document? That's not a valid driver's license, is it?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago (2 children)

You can absolutely legally hand this to someone as an ID. And that someone is absolutely legally allowed to laugh and ask for a different one.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I thought maybe there is some special provision for issuing driver's licenses in Native American territory (Pamunkey) or something. We have these clowns here in Germany as well. They're pretty much the same way. Somewhat hilarious folk. Some of them even planned a coup d'état a few years ago - even that was kind of funny because it was so absurd and awfully planned.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Nope, drivers licenses are still only issued by the state, however I do register my cars through my tribe for a cheaper price and (imho) a better looking plate. Our CDIB cards are just that proof that you are a member of a tribe and to what degree your lineage is (1/2, 1/4, etc)… some tribes though have reissued ID cards for the CDIB that can act as a “real ID” (like mine) but I’ve yet to try to use it that way as my drivers license is more than enough for that situation. I can also use it as a secondary ID for i9, loans, etc but I don’t think it can use as a primary on those (usually driver license, passport, and birth certs are for primary)

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Well, that's some really interesting inside info. Thanks a million. Lemmy is really the shit: I'm just a rando thousands of miles away. And yet I still get quality answers to my naive questions. Wonderful; thank you!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Doesn’t it become fraud when you try and use in a legitimate transaction?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

From what I can see, fraud requires intent, so if these whackadooos actually believe it's valid, then it wouldn't be fraud, but would still violate some other law that doesn't require intent (similar to how manslaughter and murder both result in someones death but murder basically requires intent and manslaughter doesn't).

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The intent is about whether you intended you pass off an invalid form of ID as valid though? Just because you believed it was valid doesn’t stop it from being fraud

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It gets funky ... from what I'm finding (I found more, but this was the easiest and it comes from a legit looking location), there is such a thing as negligent fraud in CIVIL law, but even that requires that you to have not had reasonable reasons to believe it to be true. I would argue that they're idiots and should have known better, but, I can't say that I'd win that argument in a courtroom (if I somehow found myself there, lol).

On the criminal side, from what I'm seeing they basically all require some form of intent, but 'fraud' at a criminal level doesn't seem to exist, it's all different legally defined types of fraud.

Either way, you'd still be guilty of driving without a valid license whether you thought you had one or not, it's just giving an invalid 'license' over to the officer wouldn't necessarily have been fraud.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Nah, judges don't put up with sovcit bullshit. Depending on who is doing the case(if the company they tried to scam is, it will be civil, whereas if they called the police to deal with it, it could be criminal), if they get a judges oversight, they're fucked.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yes it is legal if used for entertainment purposes, like movies and jokes.

Not if they are being passed off as legal documents.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

That's what I thought. Thx.

“One day there will be no borders, no boundaries, no flags and no countries and the only passport will be the heart”

Unfortunately today is not that day

I wonder what the QR code leads to

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

Probably just his name , the other one I posted did.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

A black SovCit is just asking to get tased.
