If someone accuses you of a crime, I bet you got a 66% chance of getting arrested, and a 33% chance of going to jail or prison.
What do you guys think? How strict are they about requiring PROOF that you committed a crime? If three people, who are friends of someone, or just believe that person and want to help them convict you, all say you did something, that might be enough to get you penalized, even if there is not video tape or finger prints. Or am I wrong? I hope I'm wrong.
Just saying you are smart to avoid people you know don't like you, avoid be careful not to get others angry, and make sure you have allies who will back you up and give you an alibi. If people know you have friends, they will be less likely to try anything. Never happened to me, but I tend to pace around imagining the worst case scinarios and wondering what I'd do. Glad I don't have any enemies where I live, and that most people around me seem to like me.
But if a cop ever assumes you did something, and is scrounging for evidence, trying to get you to say something, saying they want to hand cuff you, when no one else is around to witness, what would you do? Let them handcuff you, or request that they radio it in first and that you get some witnesses over here to witness the officer stating the reason for the arrest? All the officers who've questioned me have been very professional, but still the fact they have so much power has me scared sometimes. They need the power to do their jobs though.
