Suggestion Title: Presentable ID card
Suggestion Description: a card that you get at City Hall for like $500 that when used puts your full name in chat.


Experimentally,, should this item be mug-able and drop-able?
(If so it shouldn't be store-able, just a tool to further a storyline so long as your character is alive and free)

A few example of how making the ID mug-able would be enjoyed is:

A)
>Player gets mugged and loses his/her ID. Later the same mugger burglarizes the apartment owned by this individual.
>Police show up upon alarm
> The Thief flashes the ID of the owner instead of showing keys to commit 5.3 Identity Theft Law.
> Police forget to run the name in the PLPD Database for a Photo check
> Shootout averted.

B)
> Warranted individual is driving a vehicle to from a place to place
> Gets stopped by Police for a reason unrelated to his warrant.
> While driving his friend's car which is not ANPR'ed, the PLPD officer requests ID
> He presents a fake ID. Hoping Police accept that, give the ticket and let him go.
> Shootout averted (IF police fail to confirm the identity through their database before calling code-4)

Why should this be added?:
-  Fun new twist to avoiding detection
- Simple feature that adds a proper way to go about breaking a law that was rarely ever broken before as a criminal player. (Identity theft 5.3)
- Players can avoid shootouts in turn for more talking and roleplay if they wish
- Saves everyone time when you're actually the owner of the ID and you can just flash it when proving you're defender, instead of showing keys.

What negatives could this have?:
- Higher ranking officers negate the use of this tool as they're less likely to go along with it or genuinely fall for it.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Players always need to show keys when they want to prove they're defenders, I believe this mechanic would make the gameplay far more interesting.

Think is would be better as you can have an actual id then because when they ain’t the owner they just run away
 
In scenario B would it not be the fact that the mugged player reported his ID stolen making using it a risk itself?
 
it could be a risk but that could be the fun of it. using fake IDs to evade a possible arrest. and plus it would finally make identity theft a thing
 
Okay-ish idea ruined by making it stealable, there’s almost no way you could flash someone else’s ID to a cop which has someone else’s face on it and expect that to work.

If the officer wants to have a conversation, that's already a sign they're unaware that you're warranted. If they don't and they pull a gun on exiting their cruiser, then drive off.

Or would you rather PH denied and every cop ever just gets mowed down?
