We need a better punishment for all Identity Theft Criminals. If they steal someone’s identity, then they get to pay off all their bills, including the ones they made. This way if they steal a Soccer Mom’s credit cards and we catch them, well fine. Indeed a fine fine, which will be to pay off all the Mom’s credit card bills, car loans and shopping bills? What do you think of my idea? Do you like it? I knew you would.

You see I believe that the “Perfect Punishment for Identity Theft” is that the person doing the crime has to also join in that person’s identity and can start by paying off all the victims bills. And since people are living longer why not make them pay off these bills for as long as they live? That would be fair for all concerned.

You know the other day I was watching a tape of a traffic court and several people were there for petty theft and charging on stolen credit cards and it became rather obvious to me that these petty crimes of identity theft were not being prosecuted properly, it was as if these criminals got off with a fine, jail time (little) or trash pickup on the freeway and probation. That is BS, in fact how many times did they do it until they finally got caught anyway?

We need a stiffer penalty and one, which fits the crime. They want to steal your identity and be you? Well fine and they can start by paying off all your bills? Now how does it feel to be you? Consider this in 2006.
