| Certainly this notary is going to pay her dues according to law. But this whistle-blower might should have checked MD's laws concerning her solicitation of asking someone to engage in an illegal act knowing she was illegal. According to a MD attorney "to be convicted of the crime of solicitation the state need merely show that the person charged asked another person to engage in an illegal act". Those e-mails asking the illegal notary if she might be availble for purposes of entrapment may nail the coffin on the whistle-blower if Ms.C. hands them over to a D.A. or the MIA. You never know where whistle blowing can wind up as the blower is affecting someones future and it is serious business. The penalty for solicitation is 1 year in jail and a fine, the jail time usually waived if first offense. But it goes on record and probably the loss of her commission. Perhaps this blower should have just called and been up front otherwise her end may be worse than the illegal notary. |
