Friend Lost a Fake ID in His Wallet - Help

4 views 3 answers
Last week, my friend was robbed for his iPhone. He tried to chase after the kid but fell. In the process, his wallet fell out of his pocket. Now. I guess there are two possibilities. - 1) One of the perps took it (I think he said it was a set up, one was behind him, he realized after a suspicious kid gave a head nod right as it happened). -Will never be retrieved in this case.. OR 2) A good Samaritan retrieved the wallet and turns it in to police. Say someone finds the wallet in a dumpster after the perps ditched it.. And it is turned into police. How hard would it stick? If it is his picture, name, but fake state and address. How could this play out? I mean possession, but it's not on his person. Would it be possible to argue they used a picture formerly in his wallet? -Thanks

I am sorry to hear about your situation. You should contact an attorney to discuss your questions as additional information would be helpful. Why do you think anyone would even care if they found it to check that the name, picture, and address matches? Most likely no one is going to check any of that, IF anyone even finds it, but I have a feeling that some information may have been omitted in your post, and I'd probably need to know what was left out. I wish you the best of luck. Please remember that I do not normally monitor these questions after I have posted a reply. Free phone consultation Monday — Thursday 1-5 pm.

Discussing potential criminal charges or penalties at online forums can be risky. If your concern is about potential criminal issues, then you should not talk about it on the internet at all. Instead you should talk to a criminal law lawyer near you, right away. Many investigators now check social media and Q&A websites when they are investigating a possible defendant, looking for questions that may indicate possible guilt or damaging admissions that can be gleaned from questions posted online. I do not know what your circumstance is or if you are inquiring only generally or perhaps for another person who was wondering. Regardless, you should talk to a local criminal law attorney near you right away. Reading this free online Legal Guide may help you understand general concepts of Fraud, What is Fraud, http://www.attorneyqna.com/legal-guides/ugc/what-is-fr... . You need to talk to a local Criminal Law attorney who deals with this kind of case. Call your local attorney's Bar Association and ask for a referral to a Criminal Law attorney near you.

This seems like a lot of worry about nothing. The ID is lost until it turns up. Do you really think the cops have nothing better to do than to riffle through lost wallets to check if the cards inside are fake or not? Bottom line, in the very unlikely the cops ever call about a fake ID, say nothing.
