Legal Question in Criminal Law in Nevada
False ID submitted fot driving offense
Daughter (whose car they were driving)and Cousin pulled over for expired registration (1 with a restricted license the other a suspended license due to recent dui). Somehow they were able to give another person information (a sister's who was not present) as being the driver of the car when pulled over. The unknown sister received a notice in mail claiming a warrant was issued for failure to pay or appear on the citation. What range of penalties and solutions would apply to such an instance. The sister whose ID/Info was falsely used doesn't want any of this on her record. Jail time, fines ?? for the others?? (all reside out of state, and were in Nevada working at the time)

Re: False ID submitted fot driving offense
There are ways to get this case dismissed without having to incriminate the guilty parties, but the tactics will vary with the actual facts of the case. What you need to do is hire an attorney in the town where your daughter's court appearance is and hopefully that attorney can straighten it all out. Since the innocent daughter has received a warrant notice, it is important to take care of it quickly. Otherwise, the innocent daughter may get arrested on the warrant here in California - there are many ways this can happen. Time is of the essence.

I would recommend you hire an attorney fo file a motion to quash the bench warrant and appear before the Judge. Otherwise, the penalty could be severe.
