It is astonishing isn’t it? She was going to try and hold onto that identity as long as she could. She didn’t even blink an eye trying to steal from an account that wasn’t even hers.

[@JenX_1973]

Someone stole my SS# back in February 2012 and used it to file an online tax return. In TEXAS! I’m thinking it was an illegal. The woman at the IRS told me that she couldn’t tell me where the return was filed, where the person filed the return, and said it was for THEIR safety! I looked at her like “WHAT?!?” She said, “I have to get some forms for you to fill out, so don’t look at my screen because the name and address of the person who filed the tax return is pulled up,” and then she winked at me. She left the room, and I looked at the screen! The address was 1234 Happy Drive, Houston, TX!! Yep, sounds like a real address to me! This was back when you didn’t need to verify your identity to file an online return, and when online filing was relatively new. It took me 7 months to get my refund. But after that, the IRS sends me a PIN number every year in January, and even if someone tries to use my SS# to file an online return, if they don’t have my PIN number, it won’t go through. I don’t know why they didn’t do that from the beginning of online filing! A lot of people had their SS#s stolen and used to file in-line returns!!

@@Paul77ozee Sure, tons. Here's one: I had a very good customer that was very bad with his finances. He was a retired gang member with a million tattoos. He started coming in with messages he said was from a girl that he was interested in, but I recognized it as an obvious scam (Typical honey pot style lover scam). The person kept getting him to send small amounts of money to them, even after telling him many times NOT to, and that it wasn't real (It is common for people to not believe you when they are in too deep). Eventually, He came in to let me know the person had sent him a large sum of money, and wanted him to make out a Cashiers Check and send it to them to pay for a car because they didn't have an account. I let him know this was definitely stolen money, and if he sent it it would eventually return and he would be on the hook to pay it back (It was almost $30,000). After an hour of talking to him, he agreed not to send the check, and just left the money in his account. 3 months later, He came in saying the money never returned, and asked me if he could keep it. I told him I didn't recommend that (The money came in via wire transfer.) A few months later he drove up in the new truck he bought, So I just face palmed and went about my business. I moved to a different branch shortly after and never found out anything about it. I think he is still driving the truck though lol.

[@1malikalik]

@lynnhen, I completely understand your frustration with the justice system however in a remarkable irony, it's both cheaper and lucrative to place a non violent defendant on Probation for the following reasons: 1)Incarceration is very EXPENSIVE once you factor in Housing, Medical, Food and Supervision/Staff of the inmate. 2) Probation frees up the all ready OVERCROWDED and UNDERSTAFFED prisons and reduces the back log in the prison. 3)The Government/City/County makes tons of $$$$$$$ from Probation as the Defendant has to pay monthly Probation fees. In this case it's easily $300 ×12 months which is $3600. 4) Additionally, once a defendant is placed on Probation he or she relinquishes her constitutional rights meaning she is subject to Searches 24/7 including drug and alcohol tests which keeps the community safe. 5) Let's say she violates her Probation, she will get to do jail time for the Fraud Charge in addition to the new charge. Trust me, the House always Wins. The best cause of action in this scenario is the Victim needs to sue her in civil courts for monetary damages and garnish her future earnings and wages.

There is NO WAY that any court was going to rule that she wasn't detained after having Miranda read to her. NO reasonable person would think they were free to go. And, of course, if she said, "I'm not under arrest or being detained???.. Ok, bye," and turned to walk away, she would NOT have been allowed to leave. 100% for sure. That being said, she is clearly guilty. She went into a bank, tried to withdraw a bunch of money, got delayed by a bank employee so they could get the cops there, she saw the cops come in, went to the bathroom thinking it would break their attention/focus on her, and then tried to leave without getting her transaction finished. "Why are you leaving without getting your money?" would be an interesting question, rather than all of the runaround about who she is. Obviously guilty.

[@EstorilEm]

Came here to say the same thing, however I believe they’re allowed to question in the pursuit of establishing identity - which was essentially the entire course of the conversation. Still, you could tell the one cop knew it was time to stop, and kinda looked around for reassurance from the other cops - that’s a little sketchy, but perhaps he wasn’t sure about stipulations regarding establishing identity. Worst case they throw out everything she says - in some cases that’s enough to remove initial probable cause and thus anything determined or discovered afterwards, in this case the crime was already established and documented so there’s nothing to prevent that evidence from being admissible. This is also why most cops don’t mirandize that quickly, there are a lot of questions that need answering, even if you can’t use them in court, you now know a lot more about the situation.

[@slyjokerg]

​@@EstorilEm ​ She can 100% still be convicted, even if everything she said during this video is thrown out. Denying her rights doesn't actually mean she can't be convicted. It would simply mean that nothing that she said during the video after invoking her rights could be used as evidence against her. That doesn't mean other things can't be used. But she still could sue them for violating her civil rights. Nothing prevents both things from happening... a conviction AND a successful lawsuit could both occur. In Florida, there IS a "stop and ID" statute, but it only pertains to "loitering and prowling." She was doing neither. That means that even if she is being detained under reasonable, articulable suspicion of a crime, she does NOT have to identify herself. That eliminates any argument about the need to identify her. Plus, even if the statute was broader, in this case, specifically giving her real identity would be part and parcel of incriminating herself, and there is an exception to ID mandates if the person can establish that doing so would itself incriminate him/her. The cops play fast and loose with people's rights constantly, all over the country, and that is a huge problem. Too many courts have allowed the police to more and more get away with an ever increasing amount of unconstitutional bullshit. Again, I am not saying that this woman isn't guilty. She clearly is. But they have to go about investigating, arresting, trying, and convicting people the right way... NOT what is easiest/fastest for them.

[@joefaller4525]

Actually, I think they can continue to speak to her all they want, they just can't ask her any questions. Not positive I am correct, and I also think they are permitted to ask her what her name is, without her attorney present. Any lawyers or cops out there confirm my understanding/incorrectness of the issue?

[@slyjokerg]

​@@joefaller4525 ---> POSTED: **Actually, I think they can continue to speak to her all they want, they just can't ask her any questions. Not positive I am correct...** You are indeed incorrect. Once someone invokes their right to an attorney, the interaction has to stop. That is why you will see cops in interrogation rooms immediately get up and leave the room the moment someone being questioned asks for an attorney. A cop doesn't have to be literally putting things in the form of a question in order to be violating the person's rights. Anything said can be construed as trying to evoke a response/reaction that gives the state something to use against the person in court. Under the law, that is the same as flat out asking questions. **...and I also think they are permitted to ask her what her name is, without her attorney present.** Yes and no. In the state of Florida, where this event took place, there is a so called "stop and ID law," which says, in part: "Whenever any law enforcement officer of this state encounters any person under circumstances which reasonably indicate that such person has committed, is committing, or is about to commit a violation of the criminal laws of this state or the criminal ordinances of any municipality or county, the officer may temporarily detain such person for the purpose of ascertaining the identity of the person temporarily detained and the circumstances surrounding the person’s presence abroad which led the officer to believe that the person had committed, was committing, or was about to commit a criminal offense." However, in Hiibel v Nevada, the SCOTUS said: "Hiibel’s contention that his conviction violates the Fifth Amendment’s prohibition on self-incrimination fails because disclosure of his name and identity presented no reasonable danger of incrimination. The Fifth Amendment prohibits only compelled testimony that is incriminating and protects only against disclosures that the witness reasonably believes could be used in a criminal prosecution or could lead to other evidence that might be so used. Hiibel’s refusal to disclose was not based on any articulated real and appreciable fear that his name would be used to incriminate him, or that it would furnish evidence needed to prosecute him. It appears he refused to identify himself only because he thought his name was none of the officer’s business. While the Court recognizes his strong belief that he should not have to disclose his identity, the Fifth Amendment does not override the Nevada Legislature’s judgment to the contrary absent a reasonable belief that the disclosure would tend to incriminate him. Answering a request to disclose a name is likely to be so insignificant as to be incriminating only in unusual circumstances. If a case arises where there is a substantial allegation that furnishing identity at the time of a stop would have given the police a link in the chain of evidence needed to convict the individual of a separate offense, the court can then consider whether the Fifth Amendment privilege applies, whether it has been violated, and what remedy must follow. Those questions need not be resolved here." In this case, it would very simple for the woman to establish that offering her real identity would incriminate her, since the very crime she tried to commit included posing as another person. **Any lawyers or cops out there confirm my understanding/incorrectness of the issue?** 1. I just explained it. 2. You should never ask a cop to explain the law. They almost always have poor understanding of legal realities, and/or lie about legal realities.

[@joefaller4525]

@@slyjokerg Thank you . Very informative. Wow, I guess that's why I never became a lawyer. I was watching a KZbin of an actual interrogation that didn't stop once the guy asked for his lawyer. I think the state was Michigan. When the guy said "I asked for my lawyer so you can't ask me anymore questions" they told him they weren't asking any more questions, just talking to him. He ended up either being convicted or pleading, don't recall. So in that case the additional conversation with the guy didn't impede him being in prison. In this situation it was 1:30 in the morning so no attorney may have been available. Thanks again.

@@xanithrustygaming6911 I think she was put up to this attempted fraud by her "person' on the phone. She is inexperienced and had no idea how to BS her way through it because she's not a professional scammer. Note that after they got the phone away from her she gave her real name in a low voice, as if she was afraid she'd be overheard. She got off with light charges probably because she gave the police information about the person who is behind the identity theft. If this is really what happened, I hope she has learned to not participate in criminal behavior because she's no good at it. If I'm wrong and she's a full partner in the fraud, I hope she realizes she has a record now and is no good at it and will be caught if she tries it again.

Sorry but I too had to get a new account setup because someone in another country managed to steal my identity Thankfully the Bank 🏦 realised that I wasn’t overseas and managed to stop 🛑 it beforehand ‼️

60 days is a long time for theft, honestly. I’ve seen people do less than 10 for unaliving someone. Yes, what she did was abhorrent and absolutely should be punished, but she now has several felonies chasing her, and she’s young. Give her time and she’ll be in a state pen for an extended stay.

You need a fine proportionate to your income and assets. If you only have $10, the state takes $5. But if you have a car, a house and all the rest of it, the state takes 50% of the value. You want the deterrent to be meaningful.

I've had my card data stolen. Visa said I was in NY, and charged my credit card for parking, a meal, and parking again. I wasn't in NY, but they claimed the data from the mag stripe was read by the Point of Sale equipment. I had to contact their fraud dept, and submit a sworn affidavit that I didn't make those charges. I mentioned the issue to a colleague in TX; he checked his statement, and found a huge charge for electronics in another state. I asked a colleague in CA, and she said her debit card was drained. Turns out a worker at a card processing center sold the data collected from the network in CA to thieves who made copies of the cards for their gang. The 3 of us were in CA to work on various projects, and our card data got processed by the same center. I used my MasterCard until I got a replacement card from Visa, and had to update all my autopay accounts.

​@@oahuhawaii2141Get a bank that has an app, and you can set it up to receive a text, everytime a transaction is made, weather it's big or small.

When you get booked into jail once formally charged, there is a bill that begins to accumulate. The jail charges you for your stay, meals and medications. Probation costs over $1,000 in most cases and the court will charge you around $150 for the arraignment and sentencing hearing. That lady should have to reimburse the stolen funds, no mention of a grand total just it was the 3rd attempt to steal funds and the real identity spoke with the bank. Honestly with all the precautions out there, if someone steals from a big bank, the account holder shouldn't be a victim of the loss. When we put money into the bank there is an unspoken agreement that they won't give it to conmen/women! I'm sure TD bank can afford to reimburse $10,000 or whatever. TD bank is one of the worst big banks for alot of reasons.
