is it illegal to photocopy identification cards?

In some instances, yes...it depends on what it is being used for.  It is against the law, in most states, I believe, to photocopy any type of photo ID card for purposes of a credit or lending decision, because of lending regulations regarding race, sex, etc...

No, but bring government issued photo ID, like a driver's license.

I work in retail.. Yes we card you.\nYou've gotta be 18, and have a valid form of picture id. Or we won't sell them to you.

if it wasn't a fake id, or illegal id...im sure you could go to the cops and make a case of theft or something.  if it is fake...ur screwed...don't go to the cops either.

There is no laws in this area. Yes ID Theft is an issue that is why you are supposed to shred your personal information before placing it into the trash. Once it is curbside or in the dumpster, its open game.

Nope. Just make sure you make enough copies the first time or scan and print. This is assuming you aren't trying to find out what someone else printed. eh eh.

To my knowledge it is not illegal but could be construed as a conflict of interest or witness coercion or tampering. If you have proof or reasonable suspicion,tell the lawyers involved. Peace.

It's not legal. All police officers, in or out of uniform, have to show ID if asked.

According to the law, it's usually called theft and yes, that's illegal.  Often accompanied with B&E (breaking and entering).

It's generally legal.  There are few laws in this area.  Consult a local attorney for further advice.\n\nBTW, cancelled checks are NOT public records!  Digitization of them is authorized by The Check Clearing for the 21st Century Act (aka Check 21) which became effective on 10/28/2004.

Yes, it's unlawful.\nIt's just like I open your mail box (not email) and examine letters you receive, check out who is sending letter to you and what magazine you subscribe, even though I do not open your letters, it's still not legal.
