If the other Torgel McForkelsen gets one more DUI in this state and it causes me to get pulled over again, I'm gonna lose my mind.
Edit: More seriously, TSA has the idea of a "redress number". If you get flagged because your name buddy did something shady, you can get your own ID number that says "no, I'm a different John Smith than the one you're looking for". See https://www.dhs.gov/redress-control-numbers https://www.dhs.gov/redress-control-numbers for more.
- user_7832 3y agoGood news, if you get charged and change your name they won't find you later!
- lazide 3y agoMy favorite is when someone gets arrested without ID and uses the name/info of someone they know but don’t like. Bonus points if they look somewhat similar at first glance. That can be really fun to untangle.

- mbg721 3y agoThere is, afaik, exactly one other American with my first and last name. Fortunately, we're both reasonably upstanding citizens, so the scenario you mention has not come up.
