No individual is responsible for the fact that AFDC exists and steals wealth from others. The government and its supporters are responsible for that crime.

This is a violation of Indiana Code but breaking the law is of no concern to you, huh?

Hardly ever prosecuted. In addition, if you use a mail drop for a DMV address and the authorities ever "call" you on it, you can use the Homeless Defense. As far as I know, the homeless have the right to drive. Also, if your license/registration is in a jurisdiction other than the one in which you find yourself, your "lies" to the foreign jurisdiction do not violate local law.

This [opening a mail drop in a false name] is a violation of Indiana and Federal Laws depending on how they are used.

Has never been prosecuted. Very hard to prove in any case since the mailbox clerk is unlikely to remember the person who opened the box account and if you are really worried, you can just add a second phony name to the first name without any false ID having to be presented. You can then collect mail under the second name and ignore the name in which the account was opened.

Another violation of Indiana Code [opening utility accounts in false names].

I doubt that if there is no intent to defraud (hide bad credit for example). If you can later prove that your credit was good and the account would have been opened in any case, then there is no misrepresentation of a material fact and you can fall back on the common law right to call yourself by any name you choose. No prosecutions in any case. It never ceases to amaze me that people invoke never used laws to try and control the behavior of others. Did you know that sodomy is illegal in (circa) 22 states? Does this reduce the incidence of same. Use it or lose it. DCF
