So anyone can go to the police and say so and so made a threat against a politician and his home is searched and he is arrested and held on a million dollar bond?

Sounds ripe for abuse to me or did I miss something?

Can you say Duke Lax Team....

That actually happens all the time, however, in most cases the police find the reports "unfounded". Usually, it is either a misunderstanding or someone shooting off their mouth with no real intent. But, if it is determined to be someone making false accusations to retaliate for something or to get attention or just to be an a-hole, the charges against the false accuser are very severe.
