Stop and identify. I was walking in my neighborhood and a police officer stopped me. He said I matched the description of a suspicious person report

This is not a reasonable stop. Probable cause is required to stop someone and demand identification. This does appear to be profiling if there has not been a report of a crime or suspicious activity and the person stopped is a minority or a member of a protected class. If an arrest is made, any evidence that is obtained may be subject to suppression.

Can a person be responsible for a crime and take the charge from another person?

Mark R. Thiessen
Answered by attorney Mark R. Thiessen
Criminal Law lawyer at Thiessen Law Firm
Yes but why would someone do that? And the DA has to believe and go along with charging the other person. They won't do it if they think it's a sham.

Charged with Felony, then charged with a higher degree felony

It will be necessary for your attorney to raise the issue of the statute of limitations. There are some situations where there limits are tolled and that situation may apply to you. If you have already gone to trial and the issue was not raised, you may have an issue of the competence to the representation you received. If this is the case, a writ of habeas corpus may be useful.
