The absolute first thing is to lawyer up as soon as it is humanly possible.
- Q. He is thinking of taking this case to trial
- A: He should carefully give significant thought to the matter of the offer as this seems highly reasonable given facts of criminal history provided .
- Q. Can I be forced to use my business name rather than my true given name by police?
- A: First off this scenario is not indentured servitude because answering questions fielded by a police officer hardly equated to any form of slavery . Secondly, providing false information to a police officer investigating your true identity is a crime . Your clue was when officer asked for name on DMV application that should have alerted you to respond accordingly. Police contacts are serious and should be best handled with care and caution so you can protect all your rights and avoid arrest in the future.
