The first thing I do with a real ID is widen the reference bars on the sides so the checkout scanner can't read it. If they want my birthday they can type it in manually, I don't need all my info in some store database.
Defacing a photo Id(driver's license or passport) is technically a crime.
The optimal level of crime is not zero.
While true, this is not the context that idea applies to.
