When I was in jail I ended up in court twice with people who's sibling had used their name during a traffic stop and got caught with something illegal and ended up in jail, then bailed out. Then they forgot to go to court, so weeks later THE SIBLING got arrested for something they didn't do and had to spend a whole bunch of time in jail (because they are now classified as a flight risk for not coming to court) before they could persuade a judge they weren't the right person. And if you run the probability that I ended by chance in the court twice when this happened, then it must be happening much, much more often than I witnessed.
