I realise now I shouldn't have. What do I do? The club said go to a bouncer tonight and ask for it, but the police might get involved and I obviously dont want that.
Could I just say he took it without my permission? Or that I lost it and have asked several night clubs if they've got it?

Just get it, I think they have more important things to do than reporting an ID...

I can't say for sure, but I honestly doubt they'll get the police involved, it's probably happened countless times! Don't worry too much :smile:

Just say your friend stole it if they question you. :redface:

Standard excuse - my little brother stole it

What idiot allows a bouncer to confiscate their ID? Fake or not, bouncers have no rights above a standard citizen. They can refuse entry for a suspected Fake ID.. but confiscate it? No chance.

Go to the club and demand the return of your property. If they refuse; threaten legal action.

Just go there and say it was taken from you for being too drunk or something. They probably won't even question why it was taken from you.

I've done this before, it'll be fine.

They def can take the ID if being used incorrectly.

No, they def cannot.

Taken from the 2012 False ID Guidance notes issues to licenced premises:

Only certain categories of person (for example, a police constable) have legal powers to seize false ID. However,
any member of staff presented with false ID may ask for it to be handed over.

Hi Doc,

I have some issues, but I don't want to go see my GP. Can I talk to you?

Well this is not how the clubs in my area work....regardless of the 2012 False ID Guidance.

The girl in front of me last week had her sister's ID taken off her - despite her asking for it back. The bouncer refused and she was asked to leave the premises.

I'm not sure what happened afterwards....

You should speak to your GP ideally - I am only a student.

I'd rather not. Could I just ask you something?

Ah right, because bouncers have always been relied upon to know the actual laws relating to their work? :wink:

As I said to the OP; they have no rights to confiscate. the OP (And the girl infront of you's sister) should go to the club and demand the return of their property with threat of legal action.
