Suspect they're illegal aliens...
Arrested in the sweep: Brian Allen Anderson, 22, William Thomas Coppock, 23, Brian David Franks, 27, all of Los Angeles; as well as Eric Matthew Ullman, 18, and Dean Allen Lavorante, 19, both of Culver City, said sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Interesting how easily the authorities were able to get access to store receipts, establish probable cause, and get the financial transaction information they needed to identify these people.
I’m glad they were caught but it makes me think about how we’re giving away our privacy every time we shop, in exchange for convenience. I’m a little surprised and/or offended when a clerk I don’t know addresses me by my first name (”Thanks for shopping at ******, Honcho!”) based on what they see from my debit card purchase.
stupid irresponsible accident
