OK, heard this on the radio and I need to comment on it somewhere. I just heard about a couple that was charged with "aggrevated identity theft". Really? "Aggrevated"? How on earth does one steal someone's identity aggresively? Or more to the point, how does one do it passively? Does not stealing someone's identity require some action? I mean, could I use the defense in that case that, yes, I did steal someone's identity, but it's not like I tried to do it. It just sorta happened. I mean one minute I'm cruising online, and the next I had a dozen credit cards in half a dozen different names.
