My I.D. Card? Here You Are, Officer

The Brits are having a controversial national I.D. card shoved down their throats — just like the Americans. The Dutch are ahead of them in that regard: in January of this year, carrying an official I.D. became mandatory in the Netherlands, and Dutch cops have already managed to fine 34,000 people for flouting the requirement.

Thankfully, such civil disobedience, if that's what it is, is further facilitated by online I.D. generators like this German site (hat tip: GeenStijl). I falsified my own data for the occasion and intend to carry my fake German Ausweis in lieu of a government-mandated one when the time comes. Fuck 'em.

Please post more I.D. obfuscation sites in the comments section. Other creative tips and techniques on thwarting the various I.D. requirements are also welcome.
