They did fingerprint you at some point. So by now you should have gone to court? Or did you stick your brother with a failure to appear?

If you've been charged with any of the potential offenses, you get to defend against them with whatever admissible credible evidence and testimony you may have. The impersonation and lying to a police officer charges are taken quite seriously by the DA and court. The outcome for you depends on your defenses and how your attorney is able to use them. If you are serious about hiring counsel to help you in this, feel free to contact me. If you can't afford private counsel apply to the public defender.
