QUESTION
What are we going to do now for him not to be able to arrest again?
Asked on Sep 27th, 2013 on Personal Injury - Oklahoma
More details to this question:
My spouse has a very common name and there is a warrant out someone with the same names arrest. Every time he is stopped on a routine traffic violation it turns into at least an hour ordeal. If not longer. The most recent traffic stop took the police four hours. Four hours he was in the back of the patrol car while they pulled his car apart. Even a picture was sent of the wanted person. The officer didn't seem to know what she was doing. When he is stopped, he always is up front about there being someone with the same name and birth date having warrants out for his arrest and gives his social security number. Is there anything we can do about this? FOUR hours! This wanted man is 7 foot tall and he is 6 foot tall. It seems to me like just a description of the felony should rule my spouse out.

I agree with you. However, the law of Governmental Immunity prevents you from suing the retards in blue that keep busting your hubby. Perhaps he should change his name, or move to another state.

If it is the same same police agency stopping him, you might try meeting with the Sherriff or Chief of Police, or a Captain, and explain the problem. Perhaps they can educate the officers in the jurisdiction of the problem and warn them to leave him alone.

If you have not already done so, contact the local law enforcement agencies and point out in detail the problem and difference in height. Ask the for a note from them that can be used to prevent his being held so long. It would save them time to do so. I have to wonder what your husband is doing that causes the officers to stop him in the first place? Is there something wrong with the car he drives?

Why would a description of the felony crime rule out your spouse? If I were your spouse, I would carry the case number(s) and any physical identification information from those cases (certified copies) on my person, or at least in my vehicle. The faster he can put their mind at ease he is not the wanted person, the better.
