Florida DMV Issuing Fake Drivers Licenses

Police say that at least seven employees at the state license bureau in Delray Beach have been taking bribes to issue drivers licenses to illegal aliens. The scam allegedly put drivers licenses in the hands more than 1,500 illegal aliens.

On Thursday, police in Palm Beach arrested Willy Adam, 52, and charged him with five counts of unlawful compensation to reward official behavior, and two counts of conspiracy, both felonies.

At his arraignment, Palm Beach County Assistant State Attorney Alan Johnson, told Judge Ted S. Booras that Adam is not a U.S. citizen and presents a flight risk. He is currently in the West Palm Beach county Jail on $145,000 bail.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office issued a warrant for Adam in September, along with six others accused of facilitating the scam by issuing bribes, making phony immigration documents, and escorting the illegal aliens to the DMV employees in question.

So far, police have arrested seven license bureau examiners, who are accused of issuing licenses to the illegal aliens without administering either a driving or written test.

The license examiners allegedly received between $1,200 to $2,500 per license, prosecutors believe that those involved made several millions of dollars in the illegal operation.

Three of the conspirators remain at large.

Last week, in Boynton Beach, a 10-year-old girl was hit and killed by an illegal alien driving on the wrong side of the road.

“Rene Clairvoyant, 57, of Boca Raton”

Ironic last name considering the trouble he failed to foresee for himself.

In Roman times, the punishment for a public official found guilty of corruption was to be placed in a sack with a dog, a monkey and a rat. The sack would then be sewn shut ant thrown into a river.

Somewhere I read that, in such situations in the old days in China, they would put a rat on the guy's stomach, place a double-faced bowl over it, pour hot coals in the top half, and watch as the rat dug itself away from the heat.
