I wonder if this is a thing with CT. When I was in school in upstate NY I got to tour the local PD station as part of a Criminal Justice elective and they showed us a huge bookshelf filled with containers of fake IDs sorted by state. CT ones took up almost an entire shelf while most other states only had one or two boxes

I would guess it's more regional. A CT license in NY is probably a better fake than a Montana license. Like WTF is someone from Montana doing at this random bar/liquor store in upstate NY.

So when I lived in NYC when I was 18-20, I got my first and only fake ID and it was actually quite a process. There used to be Reddit pages detailing who to contact, how to get them the money (via Bitcoin) and what states were easiest to get away with where. Pretty sure I also had to use Tor to actually order it.

I picked Pennsylvania because it was close and was relatively foolproof as they had simple ID designs compared to NY state for example, which had recently added the “window.” I assume that’s why they’ve picked Connecticut too.

Damn you . You have just opened up a memory I had long buried . 1984 , me and group of high school friends drove to NYC for fake ID’s . We go to 42nd street and find “ the guy”. He takes us to a photo booth and gets our pictures takes ( 2 bucks ) and then says ok boys it’s 85 dollars for each . Hands us a “ form “ to fill out with name and birthday ( yes all made up) we were 16 . Then says ok I need the cash . 85 times 6 of us . I hand it over and like some fucking magic he was gone . Good Money for 1984 . We took our remaining money and got pizza and bought some weed in Central Park and got high . I’m 55 now . Good times
