The last line doesnt need to be there sorry

If someone lies as a witness, the police generally require additional evidence, like physical evidence or surveillance footage, for a substantial arrest. A solicitor can help you handle false allegations effectively. If you have more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask!
I can concentrate when i see it
Case Rating: *
In cases of false allegations, police need more than a witness statement to consider an arrest. Without corroborative evidence, such as physical evidence or surveillance, arrest based solely on lying witnesses is unlikely. Consulting a solicitor can help navigate these situations effectively.
So they would need physical evidence to arrest someone? Physical evidence of a course of harassment?
Case Rating: *
For an arrest in a harassment case, police typically need more than just statements. Substantial evidence, such as physical evidence or documented patterns of harassment, strengthens their case. Witness statements alone might not suffice without supporting evidence. Are you concerned about specific evidence in your situation?
