I think it depends on several things: one factor being whether or not a
lot is taking place on campus grounds. If University police act as if they
have *absolutely nothing* better to do with their time than look for fake
IDs, I might raise an eyebrow. Nothing more.

Actually, presenting a fake identification IS crime. I think it falls
somewhere close to the category of fraud, which is a federal offense if
I'm not mistaken.

One of the main tenets of successful fights against the administration is
knowing WHAT battles to fight.
