    Do you not have ID cards in your country? In Canada we have ID cards and drivers licenses that are exactly the same minus one letting you drive

      I’m Canadian and had a BYID card issued by the LCBO. But the police can’t threaten to take it away from you as a means of control.

        I had no idea BYID cards were a thing. That’s interesting though

          Almost no one did. They stopped the age of majority card at the time and there wasn’t any replacement so they made that. It only lasted a few years. It was a really fake looking and I got a lot of doubting looks from bouncers and bankers and such. It took a force of will to get it accepted sometimes.

          Now you can get a the same card as a drivers license but it’s a different colour I think.
