I was arrested in the uk?
I stupidly gave a false name and was finger printed. It was for shop lifting.. Long story. I was released on a caution. Now I need to go to america but they finger print anyone coming in. I'm worried when finger printed the wrong name will come up and I will be in serious trouble. Will this happen? Worrying for nothing? Thanks

As you already say,it is a very stupid thing to do as giving false details to a Police Officer is a very serious offence however,a caution is not a criminal conviction and is only kept on local Police files in case you are arrested for another offence.
There should not be any problems with your entry into the United States as you do not have a conviction but it may be a good idea for you to contact the U.S Embassy in London (you do not have to give your name) who will advise you either way on the legal position.

i don't think they will be that bothered over a caution and even if they are, you just say it must of been a mistake on the police officers part
