Two Massachusetts teens get a lesson in 2D bar codes

These two teenagers were caught because the recovered fake drivers licenses
used copies of the 2D bar codes of their mom's drivers license.  Oops.

Teens arrested for allegedly producing fake licenses

WESTON, Mass. A discarded trash bag has led to the arrest of two Weston
teens for allegedly forging driver's licenses for students.

Police said the arrests of Nicholas and Kyle Fatta came after someone
spotted Nicholas tossing the bag down an embankment on Monday. 

Police recovered the bag, which they say contained numerous items to make
the licenses, including a blank license template and high quality printer. 

Police later determined the bag belonged to Nicholas. 

Authorities say the teens made the forged licenses for 125 dollars each. 

Both pleaded not guilty at their arraignment yesterday. 

They were released on personal recognizance.
