I'd hate to think I started a rash of falsifying-ID arrests across the country,
so I'm going to say a few words onna subject.  One, the photocopying birth 
certificates is a very, very OLD idea - so there is going to be quite a bit of 
precautions against this method, especially if it was used in a movie!!!  
I have heard that one can't get a photocopy of a birth certificate without 
proper identification.  I wouldn't consider it improbable that the DMV checks 
license applications against a 'deceased' list, nor the social-security people 
wouldn't get somewhat suspisious if Mr. A got a number at birth and is now
applying for another one now that he's 21 (and possibly dead as well!)...  

There are some much better methods if you just want to get drinks and not enter
bars, because Ralph's and Savon don't examine the ID with a micro-scope, like
most bars will (well... miniscule exaggeration).  Anyway, just be careful - I 
think it's a federal crime to have a fake ID.  (tho I could be wrong)
