You are absolutly wrong.
If you are stopped for a traffic stop and your name matches a warrent, you will be seriously examined for arrest. It is that simple. The system is not saying there are two people, the system is saying YOU are that person with the warrent.
Too many officers have refuse to do their job with the excuse “the judge will sort it out.”
The fact she was “in the system” is just the excuse the Sheriff is using to try and Nifong his liability.
Correct.
However, the warrant is not issued by searching driver records, but by searching arrest records.
