Quote From: lycantrapoidTo answer your question is rather diffucult, cause that is the same question we have asked for years. how did he get away with it. Surely they have checked finger prints or even photos to prove it wasn't his proper ID, but they didn't. He has pulled it off so many times that it is as if he is us. Not until this last incident has it really come to a head. THey main reason he isn't in jail is because once he is release on bond by using our names, he never goes back to court. This is how he avoids arrest. It is my brother and I that are subject to arrest if we are stopped for any reason.
You need to contact your local state/district atty and ask what can be done. Down here, a notarized letter will be issued to you (not sure if it's by the state atty or the local police...hence, the need for you to make a call first). You carry the letter with you at all times (fold it up and place it in your wallet, etc). If ever stopped by police, the letter can be displayed and you'll be fine.
I know of someone who had to do this (I am a former felony parole officer). This man's twin brother (who used his twin's name in crime) kept committing crimes and the innocent brother kept getting arrested...until he had the letter in his possession. Luckily, a few birth marks and scars were mentioned in the letter so police could check to see that the correct man was carrying the letter.
Good luck to you. I feel your pain, even though I have been fortunate not to have had to deal with this crime personally.
