The undercover employees said they knew someone who could make fake IDs, which Novak said he needed for his militia.
Lake said that during his time at the department "there were emails I saw sent around with lists of client names, IDs, language names, IDs, family make-up that were emailed to dozens of people at times".
His attorney, Anders Folk, argued that since the IDs weren't used criminally, Novak should receive a lesser punishment.
Prosecutors say Novak stole names, social security numbers and security clearance levels of roughly 400 members of his former army unit and sold the information of 98 people to others so they could create false IDs for militia members in case they "ever wanted to disappear and become someone else".
A country that can't hire enough auditors to keep up with business taxes is also unlikely to pay enough people to sift through databases of tax IDs from registered receipts that live, crumpled, in the pockets of forgetful citizens.
The opposition, however, has dismissed the TBLs and called for a return of the scrapped banned drinker register, under which all IDs were scanned and service refused to registered problem drinkers.
The Iraq war veteran intended to use the confidential material to create fake IDs for his militia, court documents say.
Then he will have a different picture on the ID...they're going to alter the IDs also while they're out there in the fields?" Mr Curran replied: "Prisoners are capable of doing a lot of mischief".
"We all have IDs, who doesn't have IDs in today's world?" he noted.
They note that modern life requires citizens to show IDs to buy cough syrup, so why not require them to vote?
And since orders can be taken over the internet, the producers no longer need to be close to their customers.At the same time, IDs themselves have become more sophisticated.
