Meaning?

Hi, would you please tell me what is the meaning of " lose whatever interest he had" in the following text:

"Got an ID? Faldo( the seargent) grunted.

Tabor had an impressive collection of ID's. He pulled out his wallet and removed a Georgia driver's license for Jeff Dunlap, who, as a real person, lived quietly and unsuspectingly in the town of Conyers, just outside of Atlanta. If the sergeant ( Faldo) bothered to check, which he never thought about doing, he would find a real person at a real address and immediately lose whatever interest he had.

Furthermore, does the text mean that the name on driver licence is not Jeff Dunlap?

Thanks
