Question by ANNIE: What should happen to the Illegal immigrant cop whom will plead guilty to ID theft he has a child?
ANCHORAGE, Alaska — A former Anchorage police officer accused of being an illegal immigrant living under a stolen identity plans to plead guilty to federal charges, according to court documents.

Mexico-born Rafael Mora-Lopez, who lived for more than two decades in Alaska as Rafael Espinoza, said in court papers he will plead guilty to charges of passport fraud and false claim of U.S. citizenship.The documents filed Thursday say the real Rafael Espinoza is a legal U.S. citizen. Authorities say he also holds citizenship in another unspecified country.

Mora-Lopez, 47, worked as a well-regarded police officer for six years until his arrest in April. He initially pleaded not guilty to passport fraud and has been out on bail under home confinement and electronic monitoring.

He has declined to comment. His attorney, Allen Dayan, did not immediately respond Monday to a telephone call seeking comment.

The court papers say Mora-Lopez’s wife, Margarita Cynthia Espinoza, had been a neighbor of the real Espinoza in Guadalajara, Mexico, in the 1980s. But it’s not clear how the identity was obtained, Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Russo said.

Mora-Lopez used Espinoza’s name, Social Security number and date of birth to apply for an Alaska driver’s license in June 1989, presenting a birth certificate and Social Security card as evidence of his identity, the court papers say.

Mora-Lopez repeatedly used the assumed identity to vote in local and national elections and receive over the years more than $ 27,000 in dividends issued to Alaska residents out of investment profits from the Alaska Permanent Fund, the documents state.

State prosecutors did not immediately respond to a call asking if the state was pursuing the dividend payouts.

According to the court papers, Mora-Lopez used the false citizenship and identity to bring his future wife to Alaska and help her obtain naturalization as a U.S. citizen “based on her marriage to him as a citizen.” Authorities have said the couple has a child.

Mora-Lopez’s true identity was discovered after he applied for a passport renewal and the State Department noted someone else appeared to have a passport under the same identity, according to the plea filing. Police and federal authorities say neither Espinoza nor Mora-Lopez have any known criminal records, so a pre-employment criminal background check on Mora-Lopez turned passed a polygraph test.

He should be tried for “false claim of US citizenship” and “impersonating a police officer,” then, after having served his prison sentence, be deported with a lifetime ban attached. That’s exactly what’s going to happen.

Question by mad cabbages: Washington State Speeding Ticket – should I go to court?
I received a ticket last Friday on a washington state highway between Spokane and Pullman. The officer asked me how fast I was going and I told him I was doing 10 over. I received a ticket for $ 113 and was told I could contest in court.

I’ve never had a speeding ticket before – if I were to go to court, what are some tips? Could I get this ticket removed from my record?
Could the fee be lessened? What should I say?

Best answer:

Answer by Rock Firestorm
You admitted to speeding, you have no case. And cops do not make up tickets. Going to court would only add court fees to your fines. Just pay it off.

Go to court. Pay the fine or do the community service. Yes, it will go on your record. But, it will be erased eventually. The eventually will be when you turn 18 if you are younger than 18.

Question by zaatheist: Should the Catholic Church be investigated for bankruptcy fraud?
‘Dan Rather Reports’ Exposes Coordinated Effort by the Catholic Church to Protect Assets From Abuse Victims

http://www.sunherald.com/2010/06/24/2285370/dan-rather-reports-exposes-coordinated.html

“From the Vatican on down, the church has vowed to make peace with hundreds of victims of a decades-long epidemic of sex abuse by its priests. But “Dan Rather Reports” found evidence that the church has done just the opposite: Wealthy U.S. Dioceses from California to Delaware have claimed to be broke and have filed for bankruptcy to avoid paying damages; Bishops have exploited arcane corporate laws to shield church assets from liability; and, in San Diego, parish priests have been caught literally hiding money in safes, according to court records.

“If you or I did what the Diocese of San Diego did in that bankruptcy, we’d be charged with bankruptcy fraud, and we’d probably be in prison,” said attorney John Manly, who has represented dozens of priest abuse victims in lawsuits across the country.

“Dan Rather Reports” found evidence that some high in the church hierarchy have provided guidance.”

I’ve always believed that religion should be held to the standards of any other business. Outside the religion industry, bankruptcy fraud would be grounds for serious jail time. Apparently religion is still somehow above the law in this day and age.

Here’s (briefly) my story:
In 2007 I was pulled over and my car searched. Officer found a pipe. I was charged with a misdemeanor.
I opted for a diversion (which gets the misdemeanor expunged from your record), and completed 1 year of unassisted probation (which ended in January of 2009).
I never went back to court after completing the unassisted probation, and I never had a lawyer throughout this process.

One of my friends had the same thing happen to him, except he had a lawyer. After completing the unassisted probation, the lawyer contacted him and told him that he needed to go back to court to complete the expungement. Apparently, he had a warrant for his arrest between the time he completed his probationary period and the time before his court date.

Now I’m wondering If I have a pending warrant for my arrest, since I never went back to court? If I do, what measures do I need to take to get it removed from my record ASAP? I’m considering driving to the police station this friday and turning myself in. Should I have a lawyer present? How much should I expect to pay in fines?

***I’m going to be traveling internationally in late november, if I don’t get it removed by then I’m afraid that I’ll get detained in an international airport when they try to look up my information from my passport.

***It’s Rutherford county of Tennessee.

HELP!
