police the fact that someone was going around with a false/someone

It is not an offence of itself to carry someone else's driving
licence, or even to claim that it is yours. You would need to use it
to gain an advantage that you are not entitled to.

If someone had presented that to me, I would have, but I'm not in the
medical profession.


What crime do you believe the person would have been committing?

It used not to be an offence but I think it may now be one, thanks to the
2006 ID Cards Act.
