Not at all. If someone has gone to the effort to generate two good pieces of fake ID, I have done my part and there is no way I could be considered "knowing". But if a person shows up with only one piece of photo ID, and it's an old college ID with the plastic cover half ripped off, I would have hard time defending myself.
I have been doing a number of things in the last couple of weeks (including selling my house and working on the paperwork to buy the next place) and they all ask for TWO photo IDs. Heck, even the post office up here asked for 2 just to do a change of address / redirection. It is clear to me that (at least in my part of the world) 2 pieces of photo ID is a standard that shows due diligence. A single piece of ID is apparently not due diligence.
Again, I don't write the laws or issue the rulings or set the standards by which things are done.
