As I just pointed out in the IPv6 list there's a huge difference between
national ID card and passport.

Daniel is right about ID cards, but as far as it concerns German
passports the only one potentially in trouble is the NCC who passes
those copies on.

>>> German law is valid only on German soil.

That's quite an oversimplification.

If I nicked some sort of business secret from a customer of mine, went
to another country and sold it there, then German law *would* apply.  It
might only be applicable when I return, but that's a different issue.

A photocopy provides significantly more information for faking one than
just the data.

That's actually one of the issues.  If a copy of my ID can be used for
any sort of legal business, and if I have to hand out copies of my ID
to all sorts of people, then this makes various sorts of identity theft
rather simple.
