Rev was talking about how his doesnt expire until 2049.
yea but it still expires. the suggested rule would mean that his wouldn't expire, even in 2049. or even in 2149 for that matter.

the expiry duration is just a slider; an answer to the question "how often should IDs be updated", which could be argued all kinds of ways. but not having an expiry at all is a fair bit different.

really I guess, the reason that an ID that is expired is rejected has less to do with the single instance concrete example of one guy buying something and the probability that he isn't of the correct age. it's more about: IDs need to expire, and ID expiries need to be enforced or they may as well never expire.

saying that IDs should _never_ expire is pretty close to saying that we shouldn't have IDs in the first place, or that there shouldn't be an age limit for purchasing certain things in the first place.

(and you guys understand the difference between looking at this from the large VS small scale, right? the law is not about what happens in a single instance. it's about implementing a large-scale system, and the implications of what will tend to happen at large-scales.)

(yeah, actually, this kind of thing can come up in other places as well. laws are written to adjust the whole system, but the enforcement of a single violation of a law occurs at the smallest possible scale of one person doing one thing. comparing the law itself to that single violation can seem silly sometimes, but that's not necessarily why the law is there; it's about the broader system.)

Its true that they do expire. But theres no reason they should have to... And thats very different from having Nemo IDs at all... And tbh, Im not even really sure the age limit matters. A lot of underage people can find many ways to get stuff they shouldnt have, anyway...

It's funny how condescending you are about alcohol all the time lol. There's nothing wrong with drinking a couple beers every now and then. Not everyone has a drinking problem

While not everybody who drinks necessarily has what's widely considering a "drinking problem," the act of drinking itself constitutes a problem. It's something that people are much better without. And I would rather see people move from booze because the widespread consumption of alcohol helps to fuel alcohol abuse through the normalization and glorification of alcohol consumption.

so ids never expire under any circumstances, and most people will have id with pictures of them when they were 18 if not younger, even into their 40s and 50s and beyond, and regardless of weight gain, medical conditions, etc? basically, the vast majority of photo ids will be decades out of date all of the time.

under some circumstances they should, but otherwise, no

its just an ID after all

Apparently, an expired license means you have lost all ability to drive. Also, your supposed to update your address information when you move, not when it expires. It must also make your DOB null until you pay more money.

bitch ass busybody LOSERS

its seriously so annoying. I had some lady give me shit at a concert one time over it after I already bought a drink and I laughed in her face. my id says Im 21, who the fuck looks at that other shit?
Maybe cause they often have covert buyers and its the law and the cashier can be fined fired and jailed for breaking it. The responsibility is on the buyer to have a valid id not the cashier to take the risk.

That probably could be said about a bunch of shit you do every day of your life. Loosen up. Enjoy life a little bit. And before you say you don't need to drink to have fun. Neither do I. But it's still fun to do sometimes

Bottom line for this topic. No person involved in the sale of alcohol enforces these kind of stupid laws because they want to. It's because they don't want to lose their job or worse. It's not fun to tell someone you can't serve them knowing that they're about to go full blown karen over it. Keeping a valid ID isn't much to ask of someone. Mine doesn't expire for another 8 years. Surely, you can leave your house every 8 years to renew your ID

No cop on the planet would let someone off if driving with an expired license. No matter what the reason you are doing so acting, like the cop will just shrug and say no big deal is a fucking joke.

When I was a 16 year old kid I got caught driving without a license only had my permit at the time, and they impounded the car. Their hands were completely tied and by state law they had to impound the car. Now this might not be the case with a expired license, but you can bet your ass a big ticket is the least of the things you will be facing.

https://www.knellerins.com/what-happens-if-you-get-caught-driving-with-an-expired-license/

Looks like you were lucky as shit because that officer must have been sympathetic. Any one of the four things can happen according to the website depending on the officer and the situation.

I was one time let off for a speeding ticket that would have been well over $200-300 easily, I wouldn't tell everyone "Bro, you can speed all you want the officer won't do shit!" Taking your personal experience as what happens every time you get caught driving with an expired license is not right.

Many cops prefer less paperwork. Many cops are doing much less because of the pandemic.

While driving ability varies by person, everybody drives worse drunk. Just like everybody posts worse drunk.

SunWuKung420 posted...
Sober people resort to pointless violence daily.

...and those odds go up a lot more while drinking. However, even if we could drop violence by 25% by agreeing as a culture to get rid of alcohol, that would be huge. And keep in mind that many of the people who are violent while sober grew up in households harmed by alcoholism so even there it comes back to alcohol.

If you remember the OP, he mentioned renewing his ID well before his other ID expired. The DMV fucked to and sent it to the wrong place. And because of Covid, the license should have still be valid apparently. Because they were extending the expiration date, anyway...

Depends. No col has ever given me a ticket for driver on an expired license... Also, its different for an expired license. Suspended, as well... They normally just let you call someone to pick you up... Of course, it depends on the officer, so...

Of course, we wouldnt decide it as a culture since theres no real need to get rid of it...

Yea. Pretty much this. TC's going Karen here and is expecting people to side with them because 'it's just an age thing' when, really, they're doing the exact thing that causes cashiers to dread asking for the ID in the first place. Which is to say, complaining, making a scene, and acting like they're in the right because they can't be bothered to do something.

so then Im at Safeway and buying alcohol and I show him my ID and hes like thats expired.

Unless you've dramatically changed appearance wise it is dumb to claim all your details that prove who you are, including a photo has expired so that can no longer prove it's you. I'm lucky I don't get asked for I.D much anymore and when my current I.D runs out(2031) I'll probably need to update my provisional driving licence photo anyway. I don't change much in appearance but I am getting older so change a little. It's every 10 years I need to renew my passport and driving licence(only got for I.D) so that's not bad.

I clearly look old enough to buy beer and its been established that I can buy alcohol legally. They don't need to scan my ID every time.

If I forgot my wallet, would they deny my purchase? To follow a law, to avoid making money? They must have a detailed record of the transaction? Sure sounds like tracking information to me. Right, @cacciato? Like collecting warfare info? Everyone is a combatant?

If you forgot your wallet they would refuse the sale due to your lack of funds.

Sure. But I believe the original intention was money. Then they added slots for cards (like debit, credit, ID, license, etc.)... But the reason I mentioned it is because you made it seem like it was weird that Rev would assume you keep your money in your wallet since its a normal thing to do...
