The photocopying of U.S. Government identification cards is a violation of Title 18, U.S. Code Part I, Chapter 33, Section 701 and punishable by fine and imprisonment.
The statute in question, 18 U.S.C. § 701, does not require intent or an evil motive, but rather, requires only the simple act of photocopying a military identification card to establish the violation.
(Either a fine or imprisonment not exceeding six months or both shall apply)
The law does not prohibit you from asking to see, examine and view the military ID or Common Access Card. If the applicant has a driver’s license or other state issued ID, this should suffice and since it is illegal under federal and state laws to discriminate against a person in the military, it may not even be prudent to ask to see it as it may have no relevance. If the applicant does not have a driver’s license or other state issued ID, there is no problem at all in asking to view the military ID.

After reading the law, it looks like you might go to prison or pay a fine for photocopying ID if you are reported?

This does not apply to me the LL since the tenant copies his ID, not me. I had a colonel offer me a photo copy of his ID. He stayed with me for 2 years and he never went to jail, in fact he got promoted. Apparently the active duty members are not aware of this regulation.

I believe if you are in possession of the copied ID, you could be held guilty for having it in your possession. Why would you risk your lively hood because you think you are above the law?

Doubtful. You believe, but I am not above the law. Since the service member made the copy it does not apply to me.
Well the law clearly states that you cannot make a photocopy. The ID could be scanned into a PC and that would not be against the law because a scan without a copy is not a photocopy.
Also, a picture could be taken of the ID and that would not be against the law because a picture without a copy is not a photocopy.
The law/regulation is very clear.
