Can u tell me if police say they recieved a call of a domestic dispute by a person u know but in which isn’t even in the area and they come to ur home to investigate and u and ur partner are in seperate areas of the house and they tell u why they are there after they ask for your partner by name and when she is present outside they want u to explain a domestic disturbance that never happens but they do not accept that answer and will not allow u to prove that the caller isn’t even in the area. They seperate u and ur partner and tell u both that one or both parties always have to go to jail on a domestic call and u perceive that they are taking ur partner either way regardless of the lack of evidence or proof. They pressure u to give an untrue statement to avoid going to jail yourself and not fulfilling responsibilities you had to take care of that day. What can u do to prevent prosecution for recanting an untrue statement aren’t the police held accountable for misconduct?
