The Trooper asked me if I were Rambo! On one day within 30 minutes, a couple of my alter egos had received speeding tickets in Eureka and San Diego. I was not arrested, but detained and not allowed to drive for 2 days until they examined the records closely. I did get a local lawyer Apparently, there were at least 4 driver's licenses issued with my name and number! It seems the Mexifornia DMV has been selling those cute California holographic blanks, for distribution to illegals in Macarthur Park. All the State troopers across the country already know of the scam, and despite publicity in the WSJ, the Mexifornians are in steadfast denial! $35. Passports? $250. Full ID kit, including Birth Certificate, License, Passport, $500-1500, depending on quality.
So yeah, the guy's story is possible. In regard to letting the "Anwar Bostick" character walk, the Santa Monica PD did the same thing to a guy with my papers, even after having been alerted. What's implausible is that it has been going on for quite a while for the guy in the post. Too long. This happened to me in 1997. It cost me approximately $3500 and about 3 months to fully clear up. There were, thank goodness, no phony credit cards. I can't believe this Harvard guy (an attorney?)didn't get right on this and clear it up.
Identity theft is easy for experienced crooks to handle. Fortunately, once you're wise to it, it's easy to clean up, if a bit pricey.But once it's a matter of record, you're cool. I have to give our young lawyer-poet-victim-actor a "D" in overall KB Kredibility. His script sounds remarkably like "Six Degrees of Separation."
ANWAR BOSTIC (K) Good handle for a Bosanian al-qaida boy, ne c'est pas?
Maybe the FBI oughta check out the poet-lawyer-actor's story. The terrs do need ID! (And our young friend some counseling)
