Quote fro the NY Post



"In a new development, sources say Littlejohn worked for a bail-enforcement company in Passaic, N.J., and believe he could have gotten a bulletproof vest, badge and clothing there. An official with the outfit - the U.S. Recovery Bureau - said Littlejohn had taken a 30-hour course for a bail-enforcement license at a school it runs in Brooklyn."

Not to say that people can't be reformed,but do they ever check people's records in these places?

Actually you have to take a 30 hr course to get a license. Apparently Littlejohn completed the course and got the license, according to what I've read.

They think he got the bulletproof vest and gun from that job.

So... if someone has a valid license wouldn't you assume that a check was done? Is the school who puts on the course required to do background checks on its potential students? Or is it the department that issues the licenses?

This much I know a convicted felon isn't allowed to have a gun and not only did he own one but carried it in his waistband.

[PonderingThings]

I suspect that Littlejohn didn't just have "alias's", instead he had complete identities under those names, so even if a check was done he would come up clean.

The US Recovery Bureau sounds like either just a simple scam or a front for other nefarious activities. See what these people have to say on this forum: US Recovery (http://bailenforcement.proboards46.com/index.cgi?board=Training&action=display&thread=1119567982&page=1)

Also, an article in NY Daily News last year about phony 'agents'. This article says USRB is legit, but I doubt it very much:

Phony police get real cuffs (http://www.nydailynews.com/news/story/328913p-281154c.html)

If he has been released several times and has changed names each time he might have several legal identities.

If the creep were trying to be some sort of bounty hunter, that's even more possible victims who may have never even came forward after being raped due to being wanted.

I thrashed this with dark_shadows and strach304 on another thread and now have a more pointed question question than at that time: How could he be convicted and incarcerated under so many different names? dark_shadows noted that if a "legal name" different from the name used for trial and incarceration were found, the incarceration name would usually be retroactively changed to match the known "legal name". I wonder if he had a unique SSN for each name and/or multiple SSNs for some of the names, or did he game the system downstream from this. I would think there has to be someone on the inside helping him construct these multiple identities. This would explain why he is so confident in carrying a gun and bounty hunting: a check run on his phony SSN, even under his own name,would come up clean. The only risk is having his parole officer actually see him carrying, and this risk seems quite low from what we've heard about the overloaded NYC parole system.

Hello Crypto,

We have had inmates attempt to change their name citong religious beliefs.An example;
Inmates that stated that they converted to the Islamic faith needed a name change.
Apparently they requested the name change saying that it is required that it is a spiritual name change and required because ot ties them to the attributes of God.They also said that if they cannot change their name,they cannot practice religious freedom the First Amendment was brought up in the same breath.
The barring of a name change by a felon does not have a logical connection to legitimate goverment interest.
So the inmates were advised to use their legal name followed by an "aka".
If a felon wants to change their name when released from custody,they can do this with a certificate of discharge by the pardons of P+P.Or complete a period of probation ordered by the court and 2 years have elapsed from the date of discharge or completion of probation.
We have had numerous felons change their name after the required period,but the former name always comes up by an NCIC check if it was changed legally.Prospective employers also get a hit on a former name when a background check is done.
If the person changed their name through illegal means,we have no way of knowing unless a person is reconized by face or a witness knows then under an alias.

The names were linked at least 4 of his known aliases that had gone through the court system so when they looked up one they got all four. The DC Sniper is one that comes to mind that was able to change his legal name to his Islamic name. The only way his parole officer would've checked up on him extensively is if someone knew who his parole officer was and called in and reported him. I've had my own experience with that and if you do file a complaint they get right on it.

But the point is you have to know. So, we believe at this juncture that a lot of criminals are using Islamic names to avoid detection. At least, that is what I believe. A pretty good ruse. Littlejohn's were based on other things but he could have another name that has yet to surface.

[strach304]

I know it's crazy I read he has nine but they didn't publish them and with the dc sniper as an example they did not know about the two seperate id's till after he was caught.

LOL That's what I'm saying.

Well, who knows a crim, better than a crim. It stands to reason he is one of the few bail bondsmens that are still criminals of this stature. But having been one, who do you think would make the best bounty hunter? A former deli boy, or a criminal appearing to have straightened up his act?
