It's not illegal to get an informal survey of land. It's illegal to pass a fake one off as legal, which is what is commonly happening with his "drawings".
"Taking a picture of yourself" and "writing your name and address on it" are legal, but if you open a Fake Drivers License business, you should expect to get hassled about it. A tiny line of text reading "this is not a real license and should not be used as one" shouldn't absolve you of all responsibility for your product.
- thehappypm 4y agoThat makes sense. It is kinda like fireworks stores over state borders in a way. Technically it’s legal, but everyone knows.
- jjk166 4y agoThat's not what is happening at all. A card with your name, address, and picture on it but absolutely none of the official things that make it a license is not a license, and there is nothing illegal about making them. I have quite a few ID cards from various private organizations - no issue. If the guy were placing a "decorative but in no way meant to be real" stamp on his surveys, that would be one thing, but without any stamp at all it's as clearly unofficial as any other piece of paper.
