When I named my son 25 years ago David Garcia I never thought I would dislike his name so much. My son got a speeding ticket a couple of months ago and he had to go to court. I went with him because he he needed a ride and did not know where the court was located. When they called him to go in front of the judge, they started to mention a list of charges and even a warrent for arrest from San Gabriel. I was suprised and when my son started to try and tell the judge that those were not his the judge told him not to speak till she gave him a turn. She finally asked him if he accepted the charges and he said no that was not him. She did not listen to him and she just kept telling him if he accepted the charges because he was also getting angry telling her it was not his charges. She told him he was being held in contempt of court and that there were three warrants for his arrest. Before my very eyes the sheriff had put the handcuffs on him and pushed him torward the door. My son kept yelling Mom, Mom help me!!! The judge asked me to leave the court and if I wanted to help my son she suggested I get a lawyer because he was going to need one. Till today he is in jail just because someone put the wrong information in his file. We have to wait almost two weeks for a court hearing and during all this time they are not giving him bail and I can not see him. The charges were for some other David Garcia not his. The clerk told me that in their system they had over a thousand David Garcia. When naming your baby give them a unique name not a common one.
