I have a friend who was falsely arrested, she is innocent. The police came to her house and arrested her. They treated her horribly and kept on asking her why she did it, she had no idea what they were talking about. The police did not believe her & really thought she committed a crime. The more she denied it the more mad the officers got. After getting to the police station they finally showed her a picture & told her we have all the evidence we need to prosecute you. The picture they had was her sister not her. They still didn't believe her, and kept asking her what is wrong with you, how can you blame your family. Finally they went to her sister's house where she admitted it was her in the picture and that it was her who committed the crime. After spending 3 hours in a holding cell she was let go. The police didn't even apologize to her. If they hadn't showed her a picture or if her sister had lied and said nope thats not me, my poor friend would've spent the night in jail for nothing. Also if the picture they had wasn't her sister, but a stranger she would've really been screw*d. The picture wasn't clear & the person was looking down. She only recognized it was her sister by the shirt she had on. Does she have any legal rights on doing anything? She was late for work, treated like crap & didn't even receive an apology. Thats what she is most mad about, the fact that they didn't even apologize to her.
