Identity theft

Cumulative Supplement

Cases:

Identity theft statute, as applied to defendant, was not unconstitutionally vague, as would violate due process; statute explicitly prohibited an individual from improperly accessing another's account at a financial institution, and that was exactly what defendant did by misappropriating victim's Social Security number, using the number to obtain Social Security card and driver's license in victim's name, and using card and license to obtain a job, at which job defendant's wages were reported to Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in victim's name, so that defendant accessed victim's account with IRS and thereby the United States Treasury, which was the nation's foremost banking institution. U.S.C.A. Const.Amend. 14; West's Ga.Code Ann. §§ 16-9-120(5)(F), 16-9-121. Hernandez v. State, 281 Ga. 559, 639 S.E.2d 473 (2007); West's Key Number Digest, Constitutional Law 258(3.1).
