Contributing
to the
Consumer Protection problems are businesses that lack stringent
privacy policies and corporate mistakes in handling
sensitive customer information. Incidents of information-
rich files being left unsecured in garbage bins
and credit slips left unshredded are common—and
even unsavvy thieves know it.
Unfortunately, local police agencies are illequipped
to handle these sophisticated crimes,
which often cross state borders. From a police perspective,
identity theft is a silent crime. It just doesn’t
merit the priority of crimes like murder, robbery,
and other violent crimes more easily reported and
televised.
