Police Simulator: Patrol Officers How to Check IDs (Difference, Fake, Expired)

First, you must approach a civilian and ask for ID. It is recommended that you detain them first in order to prevent CP loss.

Some citizens of Brighton carry ID cards while others carry driver’s licenses. Look carefully for “Driver’s License” on the top right.

If you see someone driving with an ID card, arrest them for “Missing Driver’s License.” That’s under background checks and documents in the handcuffing section.

Note: This only applies to the Background check update and its open beta branch. The full update releases on July 13th.
After you ask for an ID, press M to bring up the police computer. Click on the magnification icon and go to the IDs you’ve collected. Some IDs will show open warrants. If the ID is legitimate, arrest them for having open warrants under the background check section in handcuffing.

Note: Some of this applies to the Background Check update and its open beta branch.

When checking for IDs, there are two types of fake IDs: One is completely obvious where the picture on the ID does not match the person. In the computer, no records will show up for it.
The other type of fake ID is where the ID picture matches in-person, but it does not match on the computer.

In both cases, arrest for fake ID under background checks and documents in the handcuffing section.

Look out for expired IDs when checking identification. Compare the date on the ID with the date on the top left corner. You can either warn or cite for expired ID.
