People Who Steal Other People's Identities Online Should Go To Jail

Decent Essays
I think people who steal other people's identities online should go to jail. Most people today have some kind of info online. 70% of people today have their credit card info stolen and money is spent. That should be classified as theft and the people should be found and arrested. In the next two paragraphs, I argue that people should go to jail if they steal identities.

People today are messed up! People that sit on a computer 24 hours a day just so they can try to find credit card ID and spent. Up to 15% of people's credit card ID hacked online. These people should be arrested because it isn't fair that people earn that money and people that hack them spend it on bad things.

The second reason why people should be arrested
