Can I be charged for criminal fraud?
Anonymous2 views3 answers
A 17 yr old was charged with abussive language in a public place, fingerprinted with ink & photographed but not with their own identity they used a friends drivers licence photo ID that they were holding for their friend they had been out clubbing 17yr old was underage but not being asked to show ID at the door. It was accepted as their own ID by police even though the 2 looked nothing alike. 23yrs later that same person was charged with an offence fingerprinted digitally photographed, but officalls said nothing. A week later a friend called the officials to discuss the charges laid on friend it was then that the official person asked which name did that person go by? The name of the person charged at 17yrs or the name charged 23yrs later? 2 weeks on accused still not questioned about ID?

This story is not clear. If you used someone else's ID, you could be charged. There may be a statute of limitations issue and/or juvenile court jurisdiction issue with what happened at 17, but if you are still using someone else's identity, there may be a continuing crime and thus no issue. You need to speak privately with an attorney. You should not talk to the police.
This is a very simple question to answer. There is absolutely no reason for a suspect (or his "friend") to be talking to the police. Let your attorney do this for you.
There are too many factors at play here to adequately answer this question. There may be statute of limitations issues on certain crimes, there may be no crime at all, or there could be an ongoing crime. DO NOT speak to the police, wait and see what happens, and get an attorney if necessary.
