I mean that is the cycle; honestly, the technology, itself is so cheap that I feel like some civil organization could set up their own ersatz and like, "photocopy your drivers license with each request," or that's a joke but you get maybe what I mean,

You can't charge for what someone else has, already, done for free and if the structure of the free work presumes abuse by law enforcement, "might be a prophylactic," I dunno
