TEAM 8 INVESTIGATES

News Channel 8 Investigation results in massive DMV probe:

_ The Department of Motor Vehicles has launched a massive investigation after a Team 8 Investigation uncovered allegations Connecticut DMV employees may be illegally selling Driver's licenses...

A Team 8 Investigation, however, has found evidence the Connecticut Driver's license system is anything but secure. In fact just the opposite, that Connecticut has a reputation for being the place to go to illegally buy a license...

[A Florida businessman] says he made the discovery [about the CT licenses] after almost hiring several Brazilians. He told them they needed Green Cards and valid Driver's Licenses.

Two weeks later, they returned with Driver's licenses from Connecticut. When pressed, Pardo says the men told him...

"Everyone who comes to this country from South America goes to Connecticut to obtain a driver's license," says Pardo. "They knew exactly who to see."

"What was the reaction of law enforcement when that letter was received," asks [Team 8 Investigative Reporter] Alan Cohn.
"Shock," says unnamed DMV investigator.

This DMV investigator, who doesn't want to be identified, is talking to us out of frustration. He claims the DMV has been slow in taking action against employees suspected of selling licenses.

"It's an extremely serious issue and thus far the motor vehicle department has failed to address the issue," says the DMV inspector.

In contrast to the last post, the leftmost newscaster on the banner is right on the money.
