Last spring, my car had an issue with its brakes as I was driving through Maryland. It got towed into Ft Meade while I sought another solution to travel the last several states to get home, and then disappeared forever. Fortunately my insurance company gave me a payout. Unfortunately, I had to spend one hell of a lot of time and effort challenging court cases because someone then decided to use my license plates to commit traffic infractions all summer.

I could only imagine if someone used my stolen tags to commit real crimes!

I wonder...

Since I got arrested once for a fight at highschool (self defence btw), and got fingerprinted. And since they fingerprint you every time you get arrested (I assume that's what they do, right?) Anyone impersonating me would actually get found out, since their fingerprints wouldn't match the record...

So actually, if you already got arrested before, you're immune to identity thiefs using your name to commit crimes...

Right?
