Possessing the name James Bond can have unforeseen consequences, as one unfortunate man found out. The fictional British Secret Service agent James Bond needs no introduction - originally invented in 1953 by author Ian Fleming, the character went on to feature in a long series of movies which saw him played by prominent actors including Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Daniel Craig.
But James Bond is also a very real name, with many people around the world sharing the moniker of the world's most famous secret agent - something that can be both a blessing and a curse.
An example of how it can be the latter was featured in a documentary - The Other Fellow - which is all about the phenomenon of people sharing the name of James Bond.
On this occasion, a man from Indiana, whose name is James Bond Jr., had been pulled over by the police one day and was asked to provide some identification, which he didn't have on him.
"When it got to me I was like... My name is James Bond," he recalled.
"[The officer] looked at me like, 'I'm going to give you one more chance to tell me the truth'."
"My name is James Bond!"
Incredibly, Bond ended up being charged and had to serve 60 days in jail.
"The judge said that I was obstructing the police officer from doing his job, by me saying my name in a 'joking manner'," he said. "I looked at the judge like, 'Are you serious?'"
"How can I say James Bond in a joking manner? I just said my name!"
"I had to do like 60 days in a county jail for that. 60 days."

He had no ID?

There was a corporal in the US Army in WW2, named Adolph Hitler. He always said to let the other guy change his name.
There was an old man named Harry Truman who refused to leave when warned that Mt. St. Helens was about to erupt (and is now buried under volcanic ash).
I am all in favor of any plan to slap down arrogant Judges. I think they need to lose their judicial immunity so they can be held accountable for their bad decisions.
Judge
That word again it’s not the same everywhere any more.
Sorry, but that doesn’t pass the BS test. Maybe he did something else to earn the 60 days in the slammer.
One in a million shot, doc!
Well, Aaron Judge is a pretty good baseball player. In 2022 he hit 62 home runs, the most ever for an American League player (eclipsing Roger Maris’ 61-year-old record of 61).
