Savvy criminals are using some of the country's most credible logos, including FedEx, Wal-Mart, DirecTV and the U.S. Border Patrol, to create fake trucks to smuggle drugs, money and illegal aliens across the border, according to a report by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
Ingenious. And making a fake van is not illegal. I would think it would be copyright infringement though, which would be a civil matter, not criminal.
