Fake IDs - Part 1 - Pat Martel

A recent CBC News investigation explored the world of fake IDs. They're being sold openly, in many big city stores and look real. They're allowed because they contain minor differences from the genuine article. Sometimes those differences are not obvious to the people checking, especially in bars, but the fake IDs will have a harder time getting past officials at Highway Safety. Graham Miner is the province's Registrar of Motor Vehicles. He has a binder-full of PEI fake licenses that were confiscated here on PEI and in jurisdictions across North America.
