Has anyone with fake there ID been able to get pass through the PatronScan that they have in bars and nighclubs?

Right so people on this forum have talk about "Box scanners" all the time but they never use the actual brand name, this is one of the more popular brands that uses the software concept behind "box scanners". So in short: No. No one right now promises passing Patronscan because you would have to find the software or a Patron scan unit to test the concept ID against, and they are kind of hard to come by.

They had one in a San Francisco nightclub and 3 people got banned and ids taken away... that scanner must be top of the line
That's because the technology behind most of these scanners isn't just taking a picture of the ID and deciding it's fake because the barcode has a slight formatting AAMVA difference. The software reads the ID like it's a document and extracts data from the written words on the ID, as well as some of the design features of the temp. The the way this data is scanned is different from like the scanner on your All-In-One printer: It comes in bits and pieces and has attributes like spacing, font size, depth etc. The stats from the ID you have just slapped on the scanner is pitted against the stats from when the same software OCR'd an actual ID from the state. If the software decides the words "Endorsements" has too many attribute differences from the scan of the actual ID, your ID is flagged as fake. So that's why no one claims to pass a box scanner-to hypothetically do it (Hi FBI Man!) you'd have to get access to the scanner as well as the raw OCR data, and make your ID not based off the temp purely like we usually do, but based off the OCR data. For example, even if something looked wrong to my naked eye, I would format it for an ID based off how the OCR software has read it so it will match in the future. But no one has the time or money to do this.
On point
