Good catch Lala!
I think there are more than those 3 charges that can be considered as 'indictible offences'. I'm not sure which one or ones of the below might be relevant to having/applying for/using(?)/presenting(?) a bank card in another person's name, but all of them can be considered 'indictable offences'. The obtaining, possessing, using(?) and presenting of it to others(?) are in themselves indictable offences. I wonder if it is possible to charge someone with not having it or obtaining it, but 'intending on using it to commit another indictable offence'??? (Wouldn't they have a difficult time proving what he 'intended' to do with it, as opposed to just charging him with simply having it, which can't really be argued if it was found in his possession? I would love to see a copy of the actual 'charge', as opposed to the reporter's report !
