I agree that this man should have never have gone to prison and that IMHO should have never gone to trial either. However I can't help but feel that when asked if the police could search his car, just saying no could have stopped the whole scenario. Stand by your 4th Amendment right, if they don't have a warrant (and presumably no probable cause from what the story says) then they don't get to search anything.
As to the Social Security Number thing, if it isn't your number it isn't your number, period! If someone uses their name but my number for a car loan and doesn't pay for it, who gets the shaft on their credit report there?
