Completely Prepared!! That young lady was better prepared than some attorneys almost all of the other plaintiffs I have seen. And so professionally in control of her emotions. Amazing young lady!

[@coffeeaddictexpress5038]

Bravo indeed! That’s why she is making something of herself! In college taking care of business. Also it took me years to master my emotions much later in life. We don’t choose our family but we do control ourselves.

[@dontwait9526]

@@tenin982000 She was fully prepared & organized. She waited until asked for specific information was asked for, then immediately provided it. Additionally, she got her sister to say, on tape, that they had no proof it was her because they didn’t take her finger prints. I don’t know what specific area of law enforcement she aspired towards, but she definitely has the intelligence & demeanour which should be the hallmark of those entering the field.

Sounds like you have a bone to pick, but don't take it out on her. You really have insufficient information to condemn her based on your bias. And make no mistake, just because you qualify with "necessarily" doesn't make it any less of a condemnation.

@@perfectlyimperfect9129 sadly no I already pressed charges for identity theft and I have talked to the judge, prosecutor, and her arresting officer and their Sargent. Sadly the only way I can fix it is if I fly to Utah and go into the records department and get finger printed and I live on the other side of the us and have kids I can’t afford nor have the time to do that. Saddest part is she can do it again in another state because they don’t share that type of information. So in both Utah and Oregon they have notes on her fingerprints saying she steals my identity with her real information. What’s sad is the police should use Facebook to insure identity if they only searched my name they would have seen we look NOTHING alike.

It was a violation for selling tobacco products to minors. She was not put in handcuffs and arrested. She likely had her older sister's "Fake" ID, to buy beer.

[@truelife974]

People do that all of the time unfortunately. One of the reasons why it wasn't corrected immediately is because of the charges. That jurisdiction only cared about collecting the money for the fines. You wouldn't spend a long time in jail if arrested for such an offense anyway, so they won't spend time trying to figure out if you are who you say you are. Had they ran the defendant's name she probably would have had more problems if she already had warrants or was on probation. So she used her sister's name and information because she knew she didn't have a record.

My loser youngest brother wanted my mom to co-sign for a $15,000 Harley. This was back in 1981. She refused. He found a woman to play the part of my mom. He had snuck her ID and made a xerox copy. They went to the bank. He had moms full name, phone, birthday, soc sec number, the address of the business she owned. The loan was approved. He got the motorcycle. BTW he was 28 years old. He lived with her so he made sure no paperwork came about the loan. He didnt pay a dime. They served papers on my mom warning they were going to take her house. She managed to catch the notice about the foreclosure hearing. She shows up in court. The only thing that saved her is statements from her customers that she was 25 miles away doing hair all day. And the handwriting didnt match. He took the motorcycle and hid it so the repo guy couldnt get it. My dad had just died that June and my brother didnt care that she was going to be homeless and lose a paid for house! Story twist - she never kicked him out. He was never punished. When she died she left him everything. Sick!!!!

[@truelife974]

If the plaintiff didn't have a record prior it falls under first offender and wouldn't need to be expunged. That's why her sister used her name. Not paying the fines is what could cause it to show on her record because it would still be an open case. Very tough spot to be in.

The perfect example of two sisters of whom, (in old fashioned terms,) one is definite good marriage material, and the other is a definite run-for-the-hills type material.
