When an officer pulls you over for speeding, he will run your license through his RFID reader. If it does not read, there is something wrong with it. Similarly you want to cross the border. The customers officer runs your pbuttport through his RFID reader, but it does not work.
Agreed. In the same way that it takes relatively little energy to burn your pbuttport or shred your license.
Perhaps a better word would be defective. It does not imply fault. The state routinely refuses to recognize defective documents.
Who is at fault? It does not matter. What matters is who suffers the inconvenience.
In the traffic stop situation, the officer already had probable cause. In this situation police officers routinely let people go without incarceration because they are confident in their identification. But if your id is defective, then the officer can not be confident that he has identified you correctly.
Don't put it in the microwave.
Fault does not matter. The document is defective and the state wants to fix it.
I don't know how the state would prove criminal tampering. That's the state's burned, not mine. However, if you tamper with the document how do you know that state could not prove your criminal tampering?
