CAP id used at bank

[4fhoward]

I had an interesting experience at a bank today. 

I was cashing a check and the teller asked for two forms of id. 

I gave them my driver's license, pilot's license and my CAP id.  They handed my pilots license back and the manager approved my CAP id.  I found out the id is worth $99.90. 

Who would have thought it?

[RiverAux]

Did they ask for two forms of PHOTO id or just id? 

[EMT-83]

I wouldn't get too excited. I've used my fire department photo ID and we print those in the firehouse.

[Hardshell Clam]

Wow, this is big news... ID used as ID! 

[4fhoward]

They asked for two forms of photo id.

[RiverAux]

Yeah, then no big deal.  How many forms of photo ID does the average person have anyway?  Drivers license for most.  But, for the rest who else issues photo id that you carry around?  Maybe your employer?  So, a CAP photo id is going to be just as reliable, maybe slightly more so, than other forms of photo ID available to most.

[RRLE]

who else issues photo id that you carry around?

State issued concealed carry permits come in handy for second id. And most holders carry the id even when they aren't packin'.

My state won't put pictures on a CCP...it's too much government interference.  None of their business.

I currently have 4 pic IDs in my wallet - DD Form 2 (Ret), DD Form 1173, CA driver license, and CAP ID. The second one gets me the most bennies.

My State, California, does not put photos on our CCW; Its just a little folded piece of paper with your vitals and which weapons are on your permit (maximum of three) I have a Utah CCW permit that has a photo and looks very official. (Why Utah, you may ask? CA does not have reciprocity with any other states) Our CA Private Investigator ID cards look like College ID's......I guess we could always carry our passports... ( affectionately known as the mark of the beast) The only ones who seem to care about the CAP ID is the Gate Guards at Travis, but I suspect I could show them an Al Queda membership card and they would let me through.

A few years ago I lost my wallet in Quantico, VA and was able to use my CAP ID to get a replacement driver's license.

CA does not have reciprocity with any other states

FWIW, Michigan accepts resident permits from every state that issues them, including California. Part of that whole "full faith and credit" thingy.

[Major Lord]

The distinction is that although some States will "honor" another States permit, actual reciprocity is a whole different ball game. The U.S. Govt. only views the Constitution as a set of general "guidelines" that they would happily dispose of if they could. Phrases such as "Congress Shall Make no Law....." seem to be a little to vague for Congress to understand.

Your making a partial quote from the First Amendment so I think I'm missing the segue.

[The CyBorg is destroyed]

I have three photo ID's: driver's licence, NEXUS (pre-screened US/Canadian border crossing) card and CAP ID.

I have never had to use the CAP ID for anything except CAP purposes.

This is just an example of how the Constitution has been largely ignored by Congress in its passing of laws, if I had quoted the privileges and immunities clause "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States" the point would have been less clear . Other more recent examples include the president's submission as Secretary of State in direct violation of the Emoluments clause, or initiating wars without a declaration of War by Congress. ( This has not been a problem with just the current administration) There is not enough room on this board to discuss all the ways the Constitution has been intentionally violated by the Federal Government, but I thought that a clear reading from the B.O.R. would show that the Constitution is now little more than a mission statement to the Fed's, and is certainly  not seen as barring them from any actions they see fit to impress upon individuals and the States. The Constitution is written in language so clear only a lawyer could misunderstand it.

CAP should have a specific regulation that PROHIBITS the use of the issued ID card for anything but CAP related activities.   Remember that anytime ID information is taken off the card and written on another record, there's the possibility for compromise OR that other agency/company (issuing the card) becoming involved in a matter they shouldn't be involved with in the first place (and will have to take staff time to respond to).

Frankly though the two picture ID provision anywhere is stupid because most people will only have one picture ID card (driver's license or state ID card)

Really more administrative BS?

This I can agree with.

[ol'fido]

What information?  My name? My CAP ID? My expiration date? My unit charter? What info are they going to use and how will they get into anything they shouldn't with that info? I have three photo IDs in my wallet right now not including my CAP ID.

Oh good grief.

Radioman......I think a law should be made that a military ID...including retired...can only be used for military purposes and then only on a military base.
