My guess is that some police officials, court officers, district attorneys and the like will read this story and shake their heads because they know that this ruse does work. But shaking their heads is all they'll do. Nothing will change. I'd be willing to bet on it. As the character Cosmo says in the 1992 movie Sneakers, "It's all about the ones and zeros"—meaning that in the end, everything comes down to information.
