...scam didn't hack ChoicePoint's network, Lee hastens to point out, a little disingenuously. Nothing so elaborate was necessary. The perp armed himself with phony letterheads and ordered electronic files by fax at $150 a batch. After a number of successful attempts, a ChoicePoint employee finally got wise and alerted police. When cops nabbed Olatunji Oluwatosin, 41, at a Copymat shop in Hollywood, he had five cell phones and three credit cards on him, each under different names.

Empty hours of patrol time fill up with banter, and Conlon transcribes it with a verve reminiscent of Mamet...
...make a positive ID gave the criminal justice system a major boost, led to countless arrests and convictions of those who would otherwise have gone free and helped exonerate the falsely accused. Alec Jeffreys developed the process in 1985. Three years later, it put its first perp in jail...
