He pled guilty to identity theft, a simple misdemeanor.

This is wrong. Identity Theft should be a felony.

You can do 25 to life or spend ten minutes in the same room with the person whos life you screwed up. They get a baseball bat.

The level of the charge caught my eye as well. What is this,a game? He meant well but went about it the wrong way? There should be a real and substantial penalty for this but in a monetary and time sense.

This is a political thing that amazes me. No one really wants to pass a law that make ID theft a serious crime with a decade in prison. The media will carry one good story every month on this....but no will make it a top ten priority to change the laws.

Not in the Dim world - they will criminalize saying you are someone else while chatting on line, but actual crimes are nothing to worry about.
