I'm Canadian and had a BYID card issued by the LCBO. But the police can't threaten to take it away from you as a means of control.

I had no idea BYID cards were a thing. That's interesting though

Almost no one did. They stopped the age of majority card at the time and there wasn't any replacement so they made that. It only lasted a few years. It was a really fake looking and I got a lot of doubting looks from bouncers and bankers and such. It took a force of will to get it accepted sometimes.

Now you can get a the same card as a drivers license but it's a different colour I think.
