Do you also have to be a meat-sack person, or can you just be an electronic person? Asking for a friend.

I don't live there, so I wouldn't know. But an identity forged in UK, if you don't need a verifiable work history, goes for like £200 in government filing fees, if you dig up the random dead baby's birth-certificate yourself. You can apply for a citizenship in Estonia with that and some social engineering. Or in Malta for just plain cash, and then Estonia with less engineering. And hey presto, you got a ghost identity.
May also work in Florida.

May also work in Florida.Will almost certainly work in the UK as well. This has been used by undercover police to spy on people on numerous occasions. There has been a very big stink about it recently when it came to light that police were stealing the identities of dead children for this purpose, and in some cases actually getting married and having children with unsuspecting people under false pretences.

And now back to actual Florida Man articles:

Think your day sucks?
Last day of your probation, get called out for a little "delivery", have your vehicle break down, reschedule things and then discover it were the cops all along:

@Seppen said in Florida Man goes to...:
This is massively exacerbated in the UK because there is no definitive land register
There is a definitive land registry for England, but it only definitely contains records for land sold relatively recently, with the point where that kicks in varying wildly. Long-standing ownership (by some sort of corporate entity) could well predate the registry, though it may be registered anyway as there are legal benefits to doing so (particularly in relation to adverse possession).

And this is why (I guess) there is such a thing here as a "life certificate" that some administrations sometimes ask for, i.e. a certificate delivered by the local authority that has your birth certificate and that says you're still alive (i.e. that there is no death certificate next to your birth certificate). The wonders of an administration...

@remi Sounds conceptually similar to an "everything is fine" alarm.

A divorce battle in Bartow, Florida, is getting uglier by the day.
According to a police report from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, on June 15, Courtney Irby went to her estranged husband’s home — while he was behind bars on charges that he tried to ram her with his car — and retrieved two guns.
Her actions got her arrested. When she turned the guns in to the Lakeland Police Department for safekeeping, she was arrested on burglary and theft charges.
The arrest affidavit says the fashion writer — who does charity work for orphanages — admitted going to Joseph Irby’s residence, a place she’d never been. She told cops she took the guns out of his place because “he wasn’t going to turn them in.”
Contacted in jail, Irby, 35, said he wanted to press charges against his ex, who had been granted a restraining order against him. At the time of his June 14 arrest outside the Bartow courthouse, the police report said that Irby had said she was “in fear of her life.”
Courtney Irby, 32, was charged with armed burglary of a dwelling and grand theft of a firearm.

Yeah, when I get into a relationship, there will likely not be anything resembling a joint account. Someone convince me otherwise.

@Karla how has no one posted either of these:
Granted, the media headlines their shit now with "Florida man" because they know it makes for clicks. if it were any other state, a sample headline might be something like "Moose kills man trying to retrieve Marlboros"
In Florida, that's totally "Florida man tries to steal a cigarette from a crocodile."

Why? Because it would be better marketed in other states?
