P. v. Miguel
On April 3, 2008, Elk Grove police officers executed a traffic stop on the car in which defendant Maria Delosangel Miguel was a passenger. When asked to identify herself, defendant gave the officers her sisters name and claimed that she had no identification. The driver of the car also did not have identification and the other passenger identified himself as defendants son. Because none of the occupants of the car had a valid drivers license, officers told them the car would be towed. The officers then noticed an open purse on the front passenger seat, which appeared to have a drivers license in it. The officers looked at the license, which was fraudulent, and saw several pieces of mail with defendants name on them. The driver claimed the purse was hers and defendants son began to cry, saying he had given the police a false name. The judgment (order of probation) is affirmed.
