I agree, if you are using a bad id and trying to open a bank account or something. Getting into a bar can get ya too. If the id is dead clean and you are only gonna be using it to establish a mailbox , noone will ever check it , and it is a lot less trouble than getting caught with gear because you used your real name. As far as using a homeless person to open one up.... that is a pretty good idea, I guess you could give a guy 10 bucks to open it up for you and it is on. By the way, it isnt technically against the law to possess a fake id UNLESS you use it to commit a crime( open bank acct, get into bar underage,trying to get passport etc..) It is a gray area to be sure but I wouldnt think opening a ups account would qualify.
