Not trying to be a downer, but I got an MIP and it cost my parents a ton of money in attorney fees to get me cleared. I was a lucky one and it is off my record and I just did community service. I also had a fake which was just confiscated, again because my parents paid for a really good attorney. But for the record this is the law.... in Alabama, altering a driver's license or other government-issued ID, or manufacturing fake IDs is a felony forgery charge. Just possessing an altered or forged driver's license is a misdemeanor. Using a legal ID that belongs to another person can be considered a class B felony in Alabama. Also, you can be charged with impersonation and theft if the person's ID you are using doesn't admit to giving it to you. Being convicted of a felony is a life-altering event. A felony conviction can carry anywhere between one to 99 years in prison. The social implications of being a convicted felon will make it difficult to obtain employment or housing. You will also lose your right to vote. Remember too, laws vary from state to state. Since Florida has upped the MIP punishment and convictions, other Southern states are following suit. Be careful, carrying or using a fake is usually not worth it! Just drink in a secure house or apartment.
