    I see you are new but this is kind of a dumb statement, Do recruiters lie? they do if there are words coming from their mouths! no it really depends I'm dealing with some folks right now but they are telling me like it is!. I would call the Court and tell them how it is, Tell them your SS# and tell them that you have never stepped foot in their state and that yo are trying to get a federally secured Job where they check everything, and then ask them if a phone call is all that is needed or if they need a letter to the Judge, They should allow you to drop it, whatever you do do not plead or accept a guilty plea, If this wasn't you then it wasn't you, Check with the current recruiter and see what they say about this warrant, It sounds to me like they are trying to get you in for orientation and then they will send you home for this finding. I sure hope this helps.

    I appreciate you being as straight up as you are being right now, I know they lie I've already experienced this first hand, so your definitely right on that note. I have tried to handle it over the phone, and was told I had to write the judge. Which I've done now I'm waiting on a response. Hopefully it will be resolved before my orientation, thanks again for your help

    Call the court and speak with the clerk, get the DA's number and call them. Explain your situation and see if they'll toss it out. You may need to send notarized affidavits from your parents that you have never been to florida. After you get it squared away think back to any of your high school acquaintances that went to FL on a jet ski trip that knew your birthday and track them down, fat lip and black eye to said jagoff...

    Considering it shows up on one and not another, it's probably someone with the same name that did it. I've run a couple background checks on myself and a couple showed crimes from another guy with the same name and lives in the same state. Other ones only showed my crimes. If you go to the state database and look up the charges you see the guy has a different DOB than me. The cheaper background services are just fishing through databases and can pull things they shouldn't.

    There's a reason the better background checks send people to physically do record checks in the counties of your previous addresses and to places you list you were arrested. This is to further make sure you're not hiding something and to ensure they're not pulling up something that's false.

    There could even be a typo or something somewhere that caused it. They screw up when processing records. I once turned myself in for a warrant and 7 years later get pulled over. Cop comes up to the window telling me he pulled me over because I have a warrant in the same county I had turned myself in. Before he ever came up to talk to me they'd already contacted the county and found out there was no warrant. Someone at the county forgot to send that info to the state database.

    How does a cop mistaken an identity? One has to produce a picture ID or they hold you until they identify a person.

    I'd say the charge is from running a boat or jet ski in a Manatee protected area.

    I would call the court clerk and explain the situation that you never have been to FL.

    As it stands now the warrant isn't serious enough to come get you. There ought to be a statute of limitations like 7 or 10 years.

    Statute of limitations only applies if he wasn't charged with the crime at the time. A lawyer will get this matter taken care of. If you want to do it yourself, you need to call the State Attorney's office for that area, and speak to a prosecutor. It will take some time, but it is doable.

    To be sure that we're all on the same page here, the warrant is for you, not just someone with the same name, correct? Birth date, description, match as well, correct?

    What's crazy is there is a guy (who I knew personally), who I went to school with, had my exact name same year of birth.

    Not sure if he ever went to Florida or not, we weren't close but there could be a chance. I mean I'm not gonna blame him, but something happened.
