The fakes?

Any bartender or doorman worth anything should be able to spot them.

I have not seen a state issued DL that does not have some sort of security feature like a hologram or fluorescent ink which is pretty hard to fake.

Way back in the day NY started issuing photo licenses to combat sharing of ID. Problem is they used regular old Kodak photo paper so they ended up being easier to fake than the non photo paper license that it replaced.

You just set up an enlarger or camera on a tripod and take a few shots of your license. If you had access to developing, HS photography club always worked, you ended up with copies that you could cut up and swap numbers around to get a legal date. Then one more shot on the enlarger to cover up the cut lines and you were good to go.

But don't teach your bosses son or he may go back to college and do half his frat house then (ignoring your advice to only let someone he personally knew develop the film) drop the roll at one of those drive up photo booths and when he came back to get the roll the Feds would be waiting for him and he'd spend the night convincing them it was only fake ID for college kids and not something more nefarious.
