Queens DA Richard Brown is off to Albany this week to push for stiffer penalties against peddlers of fake IDs.
He spoke yesterday after a Post reporter bought a realistic-looking green card, Social Security card and driver’s license for $260 in Jackson Heights.
“Increasing the penalty to a Class C felony will make it more difficult for them to operate,” Brown said of a proposal by state Sen. José Peralta (D-Queens) to raise prison terms from the current 2 1/2 years to five to 15.
