 Cops said i allowed them to search verbally. nOW THEY WANT ME TO TESTIFY IM SCARED
Hello All, i had a verbal dispute with my fiance' at our home. Two Cops were called and came to the premises. During that time they each talked to my fiance' and i separately. The one that talked to me separately asked me is my fiance' had ever been arrested...He also ask me if Guns were in the house....i said No not to my knowledge.....He then spoke to the other officer and then turned around and Arrested my Fiance'....While my fiance' was in the car waiting...The arresting officer told me to writea statement stating the verbal dispute..i wrote it briefly and he told me to sign it. After that he wrote a summary as to what happened...now at this time he scaning thru it and saying, "this is just basically saying i came to the home because they was a verbal dispute...so at this time im crying and distraught that my fiance' had been arrested..When he showed me his paper pad..he told me to signed it as well.....NOW AS I AM TRYING TO RECOLLECT I M NOT SURE IF IT IS TRUE THAT HE JUST WROTE THERE WAS VERBAL DISPUTE....A lady officer spoke to me while other officers came to the home...She asked me what happened? and i said to her how it all started...She then got a word from another officer and told me that she would have to take me as well....This is routine.....When i arrived the officers said asked me were i aware that there were any guns in the house, and i said No i wasnt aware. They had me for hours and they said they would investigate more with my fiance' before they said im free to leave. Now my fiance' had now told them that i didnt have any involvment with the guns. So now they let me go....My fiance was bailed out. They argument now while my fiance' is now in custody is that they had permission to search the home by me. Now i said they NEVER ask me can they search the home...they did ask if there were any guns in the house and i said No, Not to my knowledge...They never asked me...Also if they wanted to search shouldn't they have a warrant or documentation that i wrote to search the home? .....Now im so afraid because theres no evidence or document that said i said YES search... They re saying i said it verbally. The officers told me that tell us the truth you know that this man is trying to kill you and he's avery bad man... and i said NOOOO we argued but no im not gonna say what you want me to say which is he abused me and he a very very bad man. Now looks like they want me to testify..and im afraid because 1 im scared that theyre gonna set me up to not answers the questions right...2 im afraid if i dont cooperate they gonna charged me with something like they think i did this and if i say i didnt they are gonna say it perjury. 3..i dont really know what i signed from the officers notepad...even thought its said to be verbal yes to search..im still afraid..what did i really sign to???They also wanted me to get an Order of Protection and i said i didnt feel like i needed 1...im with him..they said they think he is extremely dangerous and to leave him...i asked if i must get an order of protection...they said well nooo but in some cases they can put it in...Now the thing is asked me to go down to family court and fill one 1...but i didnt i asked someone and they said its not the law that YOU must follow their advice and get 1. But im soo afraid because i dont wanna be scrutinized at court. I have No legal wisdom..i really am not sure what do i answer to or how to answer...Im so scared...Can i decline to not testify???..And my fiance's lawyer he also said he may need me to testify..Im not charged with anything but someone said get a lawyer...The officers told me not to speak to my fiance's lawyer....i just want to have peace now im soo afraid...Help What do i do? How do i go about this??? |
