Have you ever gotten hassled over your papers after standing in line at the Registry of Motor Vehicles?
Maybe you should have tried fake documents, stolen identity, and 500 bucks. Oh, and it might have helped if you were an illegal alien.
BOSTON — The four Registry of Motor Vehicles clerks charged in connection with an alleged identity theft scheme authorities say supplied illegal aliens with Massachusetts IDs and fraudulent voter registrations have been suspended without pay, but questions still linger regarding the extent of their shenanigans — and whether similar activity is happening at other RMV locations.
Wednesday's bust, which focused on the RMV's Haymarket office in Boston, also set off alarm bells for one the nation's leading immigration reform organizations, and only came to light after an anonymous tipster reached out to the State Police — instead of Massachusetts Department of Transportation officials — in October 2015.
