Thread: Why the FSA advice against using FAL as ID

I have used the FAL several times, people get a little stupid about ID and what they will "accept" but there are many forms of photo ID that satisfy the requirements. Govt issued professional body cards like Social Worker Registration Board, Education Board, Health Board and the PSPLA card are all among the many others that can be used.

I did have a bit of a discussion with one outfit where the person wanted 2 forms of ID and what I had on me was DL and FAL, they didn't want the FAL but asked if I had a student ID or a company photo ID. I pointed out rather bluntly that those other forms of photo ID where useless - any clown could slap a fake company logo on a piece of plastic with a photo on it and call it good. They had to concede that the FAL issued by the Police was the more reliable ID...
