We're the Only Ones Illegally "Legal" Enough

A 5-year veteran of the Milwaukee police force is on suspension and accused of living under a false identity since taking the name of a dead cousin eight years ago...

Ayala-Cornejo was charged with falsely representing himself as U.S. citizen, carrying up to three years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

So if you had resisted arrest, could you claim he had no authority to detain you in the first place? Would you have been "legally" justified to counter his potentially lethal force with equivalent force of your own?

I see plenty of challenges to previous convictions in the making...

But not to worry-- a "solution" to this dilemma is being worked on as we speak.

falsely representing himself as U.S. citizen

if that's a crime, can I charge the IRS that claims I'm a U.S. Citizen rather than a citizen of Ohio?
