ID checks are a real pain in the arse for me - I'm not on the electoral role partly for ideological reasons but mainly cos I move house so often.
This seems to be the main check ever done - if you don't exist on the role you don't exist.
But seems to be not hard to find out the details of someone that does and remember them verbatim.
Last time I was stopped the plod (really nice guy actually) asked to see my facebook account to confirm the details.
... I don't have a facebook account for ideological reasons
but wouldn't be too hard to set one up with the same details as above.
Of course you are now reliant on the guy whose alias you've taken is not a crook themselves, which is apparently a quarter of the population.
