SEIZE 1,000 FAKE LAW ENFORCEMENT BADGES FROM BRONX MAN (Man is probably Iranian!)
NY DAILY NEWS ^

Posted on 05/10/2005 10:49:32 AM PDT by areafiftyone

A Bronx man has been charged with possessing an illegal cache of about 1,000 counterfeit law enforcement badges, authorities said Tuesday.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested Sergio Khorosh on Monday at his home after he accepted delivery of about 100 fake U.S. Marshals Service shields. The delivery was being monitored by the agents, who had first intercepted the badges last month in a shipment from Taiwan to San Francisco.

During a search of Khorosh’s home, agents discovered about 1,000 more badges, some resembling those of the FBI, Drug Enforcement Administration and New York Police Department, court papers said. Also found were six firearms, including semiautomatic pistols.

Authorities were investigating whether Khorosh was supplying police impersonators.

“We think this goes way beyond collectors,” said Martin D. Ficke, special agent in charge for ICE’s New York office.

Khorosh faces charges of illegal transport of counterfeit badges and weapons possession. He was ordered held on $50,000 bail.

A call to Khorosh’s attorney was not immediately returned.

My lack of respect for the ICE has reached a new high. So, we're talking about collectors who specialize in false credentials?

Can they find out the type of people he was sending them to and possibly try him under Domestic Terrorism Laws?

Just think of the places you could access with these badges.

In my experience as a pro historian and archivist, most collectors desire GENUINE artifacts as a rule. I know not one collector who specializes in forgeries (that they know of, heh).

This is the activity that goes on in plain sight that aids the sleeper cells and causes attacks on us. This is outrageous.

We need to see what is going on. They are always sooo vague about this. Of course the PC police didn't mention anything about his last name. I had to google it to find out the origin!
