Sorry for leaving out the links. Sharon Dunn, in writing this (the link posted above) was a bit spun by Buck. Here’s a link to the FLORES-FIGUEROA v. UNITED STATES decision (PDF).
I suspect that if you read Colorado Statutes (you will have to click on ‘Colorado Revised Statutes, and then navigate to 18-5-902(1) – I couldn’t figure a link to it directly), you’ll see language that is strikingly similar to the Federal Statute for “aggravated identity theft” at the Federal level.
Call me crazy, but I don’t remember SCOTUS ever making a ruling on Federal language, and then claiming that identical language in a state statute was held to a different standard. I particular, I can’t imagine that anyone will find that “knowingly” means something different in a Federal context than in a Colorado statute.
My point, which I lazily failed to illustrate, is that b/c the state law is already so clear, Buck charged almost all his illegally acquired “suspects” with the lower-level criminal impersonation, rather than ID theft
but that’s not what the warrant was for. He could still run into problems with the SCOTUS ruling.
Buck’s in a bad situation. One he created for himself, while pandering to the basest and lowest form of Weld County republicans. Now the tax payers have to foot the bill for this “welfare queen’s” defense to the tune of what probably rise to a quarter million dollars.
Whatever happened to the old saying “when you’re in a hole, quit digging.”?
Personally, he’s the kind of red I want running for statewide office.
