Possessing a fake ID is a felony offense in Illinois. They do not have to prove that you bought it, just that it is fake and you possessed it. I suggest calling them and explaining to them, that you would have paid it if you heard back and that you are willing to pay the original fine amount.
Code is 11.1301, would it be a moving or non-moving violation. He noted that it was blocking the road way for others to street race. I wasn’t participating.

Why risk it? If you are stopped with this weapon on you, you will be arrested and likely charged with another felony offense. You will then have to deal with it in Court.
