Penal Code 529 defines the crime of false personation,

or it's sometimes called false impersonation.

Adverbs of manner

where you assume somebody else's identity for the purpose

or B-- gaining some benefit for yourself.

Now keep in mind it has to be a real person.

Bond 007, that's not false personation because that's not

So you have to assume the identity of somebody

I'll give you some examples of how this works.

Suppose the police pull you over and your driver's license

So you know if you tell the cops who you are,

you're going to get arrested for driving on a suspended license.

Therefore, you give the police the name and date

You pretend to be your brother so you can get out of trouble.

Or another example is online false personation,

He got fired and he was very angry at his former employer.

So he actually created a fake Facebook account

in the name of his former boss purporting to be her

and posted a lot of inflammatory things purporting

went and seized his computers, and busted him.

And this lawyer was ultimately prosecuted and convicted
