Brickbat: Let's See Some ID

New York Police Department Officer Andy Urrutia has been charged with grand larceny, criminal possession of stolen property, petit larceny, official misconduct, unlawful possession of personal ID information, attempted petit larceny, and attempted identity theft. He was suspended without pay following his arrest. Officials said he took a photo of a debit card belonging to a woman who had been arrested and sent the photo to friends with the message "Lunch on me, guys." One of them tried to use the card at a Starbucks that day.

Wow, they piled on the charges. Welcome to prime time bitch.

Makes you wonder who he pissed off. Also only 24, makes me wonder how long he's been doing it, and if anyone at NYPD cares. And what about his accomplices? Did they get busted too, were they also cops?

* They don't even speak correct English.

It is discrimination to not hire cops with a history of larceny.

The nation’s top cop gets ten percent so what is a round pf Starbucks in comparison?

Wouldn't (forced) tattooing of your SS# on the anterior surface of your left forearm (or forehead) provide for the same identification ability? It wouldn't expire - it wouldn't have to be "renewed". It could be applied at the time of turning 18 and registering for the draft (which would have to be required for both males, females, and none-of-the-above). It could also be applied to all newly established humans on the eighth day after birth upon their transmogrification from-clump-of tissue to individual-with-rights, if the mother birthing individual does not choose to have the lump of tissue "aborted on a post-partum basis", an option that should be available up through the seventh day after delivery). Such tattooed identification could be made a legal requirement to buy, sell, trade, attend school, receive medical attention, or work for and receive wages. I mean, of course, one could have a fake SS# tattoo applied, but the penalty for that would be, after suitable proofs offered, a guilty verdict of "impersonation with intent to defraud the state" and result in the mid-humeral amputation of the left upper extremity, thereafter rendering the then-truncated individual an untouchable who could participate in no regulated economic activity forever. (For individuals who elected the forehead tattoo, the penalty would really be a deterrent to anti-social behavior!) Private, cash transaction handjobs could still be sold, at least until cash is outlawed and CBDC's displace cash, as long as all provisions of above law always dealt only with the left upper extremity. (I mean, really, have you ever been on the receiving end of a jerky, left-handed handjob? Who would pay for that?)

I wonder how many of our current deep-state masters, after consideration, would agree with the above as "desirable social policy", worthy of adoption even though "a few eggs might be broken"?

Qualified immunity.

This was a man not accustomed to being held accountable.

'One of them tried to use the card at a Starbucks that day.'

Just how expensive are drinks at Starbucks now to justify grand larceny charges?

[Carlos Inconvenience]

In NY, stealing debit/credit card info is grand larceny

[Diane Reynolds (Paul. they/them)]

Yeah, it wasn't the cup of coffee that was stolen, but the bank account.

[Stuck in California]

Also, when using stolen credit or debit cards, generally they try a small transaction to see if the number is still active before going for anything big. Like a cup of coffee or a few dollars at a gas station, or even a small online purchase.

There are a few steps missing here...

99.9% of people have no idea how to take a photo of a debit card and turn it into something you can pay at Starbucks with.

[VinniUSMC]

I would assume by setting it as a payment option in the app?

[AT]

lol, you get what you ask for, NYC.

Black Lives Matter, remember? That plus ACAB means that all you have left is a gutter police force, having driven off all the good and decent cops to greener pastures.

[Liberty_Belle]

You think this was the first NYPD that did something illegal ? Where have you been the past 100 years or so years of police misconduct to blame it on something so relatively new as BLM ?

[AT]

No, I don't think that. What I think - and what I said - is that when you chase off all your good cops, only the bad cops are left. Expect to see a lot more of this sort of thing, especially in social gutters like Chicago, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, NYC, Seattle, etc.

And don't expect me to care. Who is John Galt.
