Narrative/method: I approached this task a little bit different than how one usually does, the to-be-victim happened to come to me and asked if we had any labs due this week, then i responded with a question of whether he had a U.S driver's license or not and said yes, then i proceeded to answer his question about the labs, then i brought up a topic of having the ability to drive in the U.S under an international driver's license which he did not know, then i suggested to see his driver's licence because i have never seen one nor do i have one in my disposition, while he was looking for his driver's licence in his pocket, i turned on the phone camera very quick to take a picture of it, then i pretended to have to take a phone call urgently when he handed me his driver's licence, as soon as he turned around to talk to one of our classmates, i took a picture of it right the way and handed it back to him while " talking on the phone"
Application: In a real-life situation, one can use the same strategy or maybe try to convince the target to compare their driver's licence to their ones from a different state. There can be obtained information about that persons's driver's licence from RMV (Registry of Motor Vehicles) to look at their driver's licence records or renew it online and have it sent to their address.

Ethical reflection: This task raises a question of whether or not this practice is ethically right nor wrong, after doing some research and read an article, the law states clearly that no one has the right to take pictures of someone's belongings.Morally, it goes against the nature of being responsible.
Above is an evidence.
