What to do about a police record that is not yours?
My 29 year old son, went to get a job and they checked his finger prints. He received a notice that he had a case against him from 6 years ago. We sent off and requested a copy of the case. When we got it, it was not his signature or social security number. Does he have any recourse? He lives in another state.

The best way to try and resolve this crimnal matter involving either a person who has a similar name as your son or is a case of mistaken identity is to have him consult with a criminal defense attormey about the situation and bring all paper work regarding the matter to the consultation.
If the criminal matter is truly a case of mistaken identity, then possibly some motion could be filed in the county and court to rectify the problem.
