I am not sure how correct you are but I know in 100% of the times I’ve been involved (1 time) with law enforcement they had threatened me with more charges unless I pleaded guilty to the ones I had.
I told them to go ahead and do it... because when I proved I was not even present at the time of the alleged ‘crime’ it will also prove I could not possible have committed ‘disturbing the peace’ somewhere where I was not present.
LOL!
My brother was arrested and put in jail because a warrant was issued for his arrest. Trouble was, it was the same first and last name, same age, but a different middle name.
After he convinced them to let him go, they said you must come back on Monday with your lawyer. On Monday his lawyer told them to fly a kite.
