Just wonderin'...
The word is “perjure” (verb form of “perjury”) ... and in practice it seems to be VERY difficult to get anywhere with charges thereof. A critical element of perjury is that the alleged perjurer must have been aware that the false testimony was false, and deliberately gave it anyway. Proving someone’s state of mind is not easy.
If you think the police are bad, try dealing with the subjective offenses of the Social Services people. They are vipers.
An “umbrella” rider on your homeowner’s insurance is a good idea. My husband was sued for $1 million by a former political candidate because my husband wrote a letter categorizing the candidate as a “double talker” — meaning that he switched sides frequently in his arguments. The candidate, who lost his election, accused my husband of poking fun at his “speech impediment”. (Who knew he had a speech impediment. Nobody had ever noticed it before.)
Our homeowner’s insurance covered the cost of an attorney, although the defense (proving that the candidate was a public figure by collecting 5 years’ worth of newspaper articles featuring the candidate and his activities) occupied better than a year of our time.
The suit was withdrawn eventually, although my husband lost an appointed position with the city. In this litigious society, I’d recommend that everybody have an umbrella policy if your insurance company offers it.
Scary especailly in the People’s Republic of Boulder !
Good point.Maybe they should have said like I have in the past,”F’em they’ll get over it”
“Going to another person’s home, who is pissed off with you, is not wise. “
Yeah. That’s what the telephone is for.
“Yeah. That’s what the telephone is for.”
That can be construed as harassment,so.....
thats what “F’em the’ll get over it” is for.
I also would have liked to know what comment was.
And for Gods sake take a witness.
Sue the Seal. I hope they did it—
bump for later
This whole story sounds fishy.
Having spent a rather unpleasant Thanksgiving holiday, I can imagine.
Here’s a tip.
Tall fences make good neighbors.
Don’t invite them over. Don’t get involved with them. The extent of your contact with them should be an occasional friendly wave. Just some friendly advise.
I’m not worried, Eric Holder has my back.
Digital recordings are not accepted in courts of law, same as digital photos.. Tape and film are, though...
Found this out the hard way.
In this case, the article said that the defendant was proven "innocent" versus the lower threshold of insufficient evidence to prove guilt. The accuser filed a criminal complaint that the defendant came to their house and threatened the family with a gun. The accuser would have had to testify (called by defense attorney) or drop the case. Along with the original complaint, this would have to be knowingly lying under oath, not simply mistaking someones identity.
“In my opinion, the innocent need legal help even more than the guilty,” Gesse says. “Think about it this way: You wouldn’t travel to a dangerous foreign country without hiring a good guide. And for all intents and purposes, the legal justice system is a dangerous foreign country. As an innocent person, you have no idea what’s going on, what to expect, or how to handle the many obstacles that will be thrown in your path. You certainly aren’t equipped to represent yourself in court. So yes, you’ll definitely need the help of an experienced professional if you don’t want to end up serving time for a crime you didn’t commit.”
I can certainly relate, having gone through something similar recently. The criminal “justice” system is nothing but a racket. If the Mob were doing the same thing it would be call extortion. Nothing but a money machine.
I will say this. In my opinion, and take that for what it is an opinion only. Do everything you can to stay as far away and under the radar as you can from the cops. I mean something as simple as a headlight out. Jaywalking. Whatever. As far as calling 911. I made that mistake once. It came real close to being tragic. That’s a different story. But I won’t make that mistake again.
