the 5 elements of pc 422 for conviction.. if theres 4 'victims' does the 5 elements need to be satisfied for each person? 4 kids at 930-1000 pm walking by took off running, saying that i had a shotgun pointed at them..
one of the kids is a son of a police officer.. police showed up about 1 hour later and ordered me out of the house. i refused.. no warrants.. they requested to search my garage because obviously the kids said i had a gun in there.. i consented..
i walked into the garage and was handcuffed.. they searched the garage.. no weapon.. i was still hauled off "well we still have enough probable cause anyhow" of of the 3 cops said.
my main question is elements and how they work with multiple 'victims', and how many of you legal gurus have ever heard of pc 422 charged with more than one victim? isnt it kind of hard to make 4 people all at once think your going to kill them? i would think even if one didnt think so, then it stands to argue the others that did have fear are overreacting.. as far as i know, the cops son (all of them 14 years old) ran home which is 5 houses down from me and told his father..
if i pointed a gun at them like they said, they dont have a gun in the garage, and im not charged with any brandishing. if they were hellbent on seizing a gun?
this is a town of 5000 and the cops here barely classify as policeman, but that doesnt change the fact my name is gonna get drug in the mud...
(i have no criminal record, had a DUI in 1999 that i beat with a dmv hearing, and yes, one of the cops this night is one of the cops that arrested me back then)
any advice than the obvious would be appreciated.. i know i need council. a top lawyer in the area laughed and said get a PD dont bother wasting money, but thats easy for him to say....
thank you!
