I personally dealt with a women who used a conterfeit passport at an interview for a job. The passport was kept for the police (not theft) and they arrived and nicked her. She was interviewed and could not really come up with an excuse after all the checks done, she was a foreign national. She was charged and got 9 mths prison at Crown Court for the passport offence only.
So in answer to the question about doorstaff retaining suspected fake ID's then yes they can, no police officer is going to disagree with someone doing this if it is for a lawfully purpose. It would be up to the doorstaff to justify why they did it. Very much the same as a bank retaining a fake bank card.
