Lets hope fingers crossed, that the doorman passes all the details onto the police for prosecution
“that’s a joke right..?”
A joke ……why would it be a joke ? The OP appears to be particularly concerned that the law be strictly applied, after all, he asks “Is this legal ?”.
I am simply agreeing with the OP that in this case the doorman should follow what is lawfully required from him, and pass on all relevant information, including the illegally used ID, to the police for prosecution. The plenty for which, will presumably be a lot more than the 20 quid for a replacement license that his mate’s son feels hard done by.
Unless of course I’ve misunderstood the OP and he feels that only the doorman should act in a legal manner, whilst he mate’s son can freely go about flouting the law as he so wishes …….but surely not, no one can be that hypocritical – can they ?
