Fake Ids, when you here this you usually think of your older brother’s friend who makes you one out of the back of his car. Maybe you think of the movie Las Vegas Vacation when Russ gets a fake id from some guy right off the main strip. For the law enforcement in Nebraska, fake identification cards no longer seem to be a problem. We now have new drivers licenses that are harder to duplicate. The problem now is that people are bribing the DMV clerks to issue them a real drivers license instead of buying them from your brother’s friend. Now the problem is real ID’s are being made with the wrong information. To me this is a very big problem because it is not just changing the age on a driver’s license. Illegal immigrants are going to the DMV to get new identities. The clerks are using other people’s information for the illegal immigrants. It is not just immigrants using this, it is also sex offenders not wanting to register. It is a very scary thought to know that if these people are picked up by the police, they will not be recognized as sex offenders. A driver’s license is not just to show you can drive. Stores check them when you write a check or use your credit card. Stores also use them to check a person’s age to see if they can buy alcohol. The police use your driver’s licenses to check you when you are pulled over. I think Nebraska really needs to crack down on the employees of the DMV. We need to have better screening for the people who are hired. We also should look at how much these people get paid. Most of the employees are under paid, so the bribes are every enticing to these clerk’s. I also believe that Nebraska needs to have better regulations on how they handle the department of motor vehicles. This is a problem that needs to be dealt with soon. It is amazing how easily people can be swayed with money.
