all this is fine and dandy, but unless the police really do something about it will not make a difference. this is a great example.

in the city of los angeles you can go down to mac arthur park, about 1-2 miles from downtown los angeles area.you can buy any type of ID or document that your little heart desires. this in it self is not uncommen, but what is distrubing is that there is a los angeles police department station in the park. is the great lapd getting kick backs form these people??? anyone of the hijackers could have gone down there and picked up anything he wanted, with the lapd blessing. if the police dont stop identity theft who will? every store around the park is either selling ID's documents or drugs and they do nothing! chew on that for awhile america....
