I have been arrested for looking like someone else.
The cop proceeded to take me to an older woman's house to ID me, she proceeded to tell the cop that her grandson had brown (mine was bleach blonde) hair, no piercings (me: eyebrow, nose, lip, both ears, tongue), and was about 10 years younger than me. For reference I am mixed but basically white. But the same shit happened and it was absolutely ridiculous.
Don't trust the police to do the right thing ever.
