Identity theft is an act of stealing a person’s identity to satisfy the financial or even the non-financial needs. Every state in the US has its own specific identity theft laws as the crime is on a verge of increase.
Misappropriation of the individual’s identity, acquisition of identity by false authority and unauthorized use of identity for both financial as well as non financial purposes are some of the issues that are included as punishable offenses under the state law.
In general identity theft is regarded as a misdemeanor in Idaho and a punishment of huge fine up to $50,000 and an imprisonment of 5 years are generally imposed by the state law.
