The Ohio BMV has long been an organization managing vast amounts of data; therefore, mistakes and oversights will likely surface. The debate on accountability regarding immigration between the federal government and those states along the US’ southern border has been hot. The governors of both TX and AZ both feel that the Fed is not making a good effort to prevent immigrants from crossing the border. On November 19, 2014 a report on westernjournalism.com entitled ‘Illegal immigrants in Ohio are using loophole to obtain license plates’ composed by James Beattie focused on a BMV shortcoming as it relates to motor vehicle licensing. Here at Cleveland Scrap Cars these types of articles get our attention since we are in the business of scrapping cars, an entity who buys junk cars, thus vehicle titling and transferring is a daily occurrence. In Ohio it is not lawful to sell an old car without the proper title and such. So how do illegal immigrants register motor vehicles? Check out the story as follows: “Illegal immigrants in Ohio are obtaining license plates using a loophole in the state’s Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV). Many have been setting up fake businesses to register their vehicles, a new report finds. To obtain a license plate for a personal vehicle in OH, one requires a valid driver’s license, a state ID number, or social security number, according to ABC 6/FOX 28 in Columbus. But for a commercial vehicle, one only needs to any form of identification in addition to a tax ID number that can be acquired online, then give the name of a phony business (that is not cross-checked with the Ohio Department of State or Department of Taxation), and then you are given the plates. This is not the first time the state has run into problems with vehicle registration. In 2009, The Columbus Dispatch reported the BMV wrote to 47,457 vehicle owners who potentially did not have proper registration to provide proof of legal residency.” To read the complete story–visit this link: http://www.westernjournalism.com/illegal-immigrants-ohio-using-loophole-get-license-plates/
What is required to sell an old car to Cleveland Scrap Cars? The answer is the same for anyone who buys junk cars, the vehicle title and an ID. We have been scrapping cars in a manner that protects the environment for many years in Cleveland. Cleveland is a good environment for a business in scrapping cars due to the relatively excessive use of road salt. The Cleveland area endures harsh winters due to the city’s northerly location and heavy cold wind that blows from the Great Lakes, which also generates “lake effect” snow that in several hours can accumulate 6-7 inches. In fact, Cargill Salt, a privately held salt company has a massive salt mine just west of the city center that stretches from the lakefront beneath the lake for nearly 4 miles. According to a story from April 2013 “Cargill Deicing Technology extracts rock salt from a basin more than 300 million years old so that modern-day drivers can safely maneuver winter roads. Cargill’s location in the heart of the city is ideal for mining salt; it sits on one of the largest salt basins in the entire world. The salt basin itself is ancient. As the Appalachian Mountains formed, they cut off a section of the Atlantic, which evaporated and left behind massive salt deposits which became covered with soil and rock, and those layers, in turn, were eventually covered by the glaciers which melted to form the Great Lakes.” To see the complete article visit this link: http://www.portofcleveland.com/
