Idea for Future Content: Operation ID in Published Court Cases

edit

United States v. Lowery, 19 M.J. 754, 756 (Army Court of Military Review 1984): "Sergeant Brackett also mentioned that he had broken down the weapons and had found the name "Gregory" along with four digits engraved in each weapon. Appellant stated that he did not know Gregory. Appellant, however, was aware of Operation Identification--an anti-theft operation run by the military police in which valuable articles are engraved with the owner's last name and last four digits of his social security number. When Sergeant Brackett told appellant about the name engraved in the weapons, appellant became "highly suspicious" the weapons might be stolen."

State v. Smith, 261 N.W.2d 349, 350-351 (Minnesota Supreme Court 1977): "The post-arrest examination of the items revealed that some of them had obliterated serial numbers or none at all. Others, for example the camera, had Operation Identification numbers of serial numbers which the officers fed into their computer via the telephone." Elindstr (talk) 16:21, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
