Man with 25 IDs nabbed by face-recognition tech
Sometimes he was Eric Nicholson. Sometimes he was Vernon Eugene Lyons. However, according to authorities in Indiana, his real name was George Helms and he assumed at least 10 different names in that state alone.
According to CBS2 Chicago, Helms walked into the Hobart, Ind., license branch to obtain an 11th ID. No one seems really sure why he would want an 11th license. What Helms appears not to have known is that Indiana has invested in new facial recognition software.
Helms allegedly had all the correct paperwork and then posed for his photograph. However, in the evening after his application was approved, the photograph passed through the new facial recognition system, which spotted an allegedly remarkable similarity with 10 other licenses, according to the report.
