My brother was pulled over instead of me in a warrant traffic stop, FREAKY?
Hello there, I am currently from Chicago but visit Minnesota offten. Most of my family currenty lives in Minnesota. I had a active warrant in Minnesota for theft which was only $13.00, the officer wrote down a court date, took my information and I was on my way. He told me I had to make this court date, but I knew I couldn't, due to the fact I was just there visiting and I had a flight to Baltimore to start college the same day. I had this warrant for about 2 years now and just been to busy to take care of it. Now my brother also has an active warrant and was recently pulled over in Minnesota. The officer asked for his name and he gave the officer my name which cam back as an active warrant. Funny thing is the officer just asked did he have $ 300.00 on him to take care of the bail and other expenses. Now my warrant is gone with no jail time all I have to do is show up for court and listen what the judge has to say. So how was this possible and my bro didn't have a license on him either

The cop fell down on his job. Now you owe your brother $300 and he still has a warrant out on him. The cop should have taken him in for "Failure to Identify."
2 :
Your high power is actively on call.
3 :
If your brother knows all your information like dirth date, address, etc etc etc it's easy to pass yourself when you're a sibling. Pay your brother back the $300 and count your lucky stars!
4 :
Since your brother didn't have any ID on him, knew he had a warrant, and thought you might not, he gave the cop your information. If your identifiers (age, height, weight, eye color, etc.) are similar it would've been easy to do so. Not necessarily a failure on the part of the cop. When I worked at the Sheriff's Dept., we had female identical twins who used each others' IDs all the time, and the only way to tell them apart was their tattoos and their fingerprints. If your brother was fingerprinted when he posted bond, those prints will come back through AFIS as his, not yours, and he could be issued a ticket for providing false information to an officer.

Seniors: Do You Fall Asleep on Planes
Seniors: Do You Fall Asleep on Planes?
Are you in the cockpit? DENVER - Two commercial pilots allegedly fell asleep on a flight between Baltimore and Denver, with one pilot waking up to "frantic" calls from air traffic controllers warning them they were approaching the airport at twice the speed allowed. I am ALWAYS nervous about flying, though I do it to get where I cannot get by other means. But this story just about did me in! I am so glad to see I'm not alone about flying...thought I was the only one around. My daughter always looks at me with a jaundiced eye and then tells me to take a tranquilizer! lol

I'm glad I wasn't on that flight! It's a wonder that plane didn't crash.
2 :
Yikes! What a story! I use to work in the airline industry, so I have trained myself to fall asleep immediately. I wake up and pay attention to the safety briefing (yes, each and every time!) and then go back to sleep only to awake upon landing. It's a great way to travel!
3 :
Yes, I do fall asleep and thank God, I am not a pilot!
4 :
My husband worked for an airline for over 30 years and could never figure out why I hate to fly.....I'm showing him this!!!
5 :
I fall asleep every time....as soon as we hit the air, I am out.....good thing I am not in charge of anyone's life.......hehe actually i do it in the car as well.......I don't sleep well at night, so I sleep every where else........
6 :
No, I'm too busy looking out the window,doing word searches, deciding what kind of soda I want, waiting my turn to go to the bathroom,watching other people walking up and down the aisle. I guess I'm too nervous to sleep!
7 :
This is scary. No I have never slept on a flight.
8 :
Heck no I wouldn't dare! If I don't grip those seat arms with all my might the plane would probably fall out of the sky.
9 :
OH GOOD GRIEF!!! That would be scary!
10 :
Oh, my goodness. That's a fine how do you do. I have a slight reluctance to fly, now we hear this. I have known for a long time, that the pilots go for hours without any sleep. What a close call this was. Thank goodness air traffic controllers were on the ball. Whew!!!
11 :
Nooo! I hate flying.
12 :
An awful story, but no, I don't ever fall asleep on planes. I wish I did ! I just got back yesterday from Egypt, and it took 30 hours of zig-zagging across the world on four different air planes to get home. I tried everything - sleeping pills, eye shade, watching boring inflight movies....but nothing worked. I got home, unpacked, and crashed for 8 hours, had some dinner, and crashed again for the entire night. Thank heavens that is over !
13 :
I used to when I was doing a lot of long distance flying. but now all of the flight that I take are short one.
14 :
I fall asleep on the runway! Taking off. Thank goodness I overcame my fear of flying. This could be due to too things, one total, jet lag (too many flights forward and back in one day) and tiredness, or both 'out on the town' the night before. Random drug and alcohol tests should be introduced for pilots flying both both International and National flights. So, in future, I'm going up to the cockpit, occasionally on flights, ( can't count the number , Ive' lost tract), and pop my head in to see, especially before landing!.
15 :
I love to fly, my husband ( now deceased) worked for Eastern Air Lines as systems analyst for 30 years, so we had flight benefits, round trip was $15.00. The first time I had to pay the whole ticket price I just about had a heart attack. I never sleep on flights though. I have "faked" it if I had an annoying seatmate though.
16 :
Not possible, its a myth I am sure, auto pilot would have disengaged as they entered controlled air space and an alarm would have sounded - beside which the flight attendants are back and forth to the cabin. A call from ATC would not have been about their speed, they would have have been given their vectors when they entered controlled airspace, so sorry it really sounds like one of those myths-
17 :
No unless it is a 12 hr flight over the ocean, then we leave at night so we can sleep. I don't think a pilot has ever fallen asleep, but know some who were plenty hung over so were the stewerdess's many times, flying out of Lake Tahoe in prop planes.
18 :
I tend to agree that this sounds like a legend, but I can't find it at all on urban legend sites. It is on msnbc.com dated yesterday, but is full of words like "alleged" with no corroboration from any source for an event that allegedly happened in 2004. I'm guessing Isotope knows more than the reporters. I can't seem to fall asleep in any moving vehicle.
