mysterious traffic tickets & identity theft

[genejmayer]

I believe I'm a victim of identity theft. I used to live in California, and I now live in Georgia. In both states someone made traffic violations and claimed they were me. I recently found out about these when I attempted to get my drivers lisence. The Georgia ticket was in the recent past and the California ticket was issued several years ago. I don't know for certain who did it (I have a feeling, but no proof) and I'm not certain what to do. Please help.

get the details and show it could not have been you because you were somewhere else; then file a police report

Similar situation here. Was living in Indiana when a ticket was issued to my name in California. Being over a decade ago, I now live in NM, where I was refused renewal of my driver's license due to state reciprocity of DMV records.

>get the details

NP, got those.

>show it could not have been you because you were somewhere else;

Okay, in my case it was over ten years ago. No, records exist that of which I am aware. And isn't burden of proof on the prosecutor/litigant, anyway?

>then file a police report

locally, here in NM. Or in the state that the allleged offense occured? Or the state from which the compromised licensed was issued?
