Obligation to sign or re-sign documents 2 days after arrest

[tschaikovsky]

What is the name of your state? Maine

I was arrested and released on bail Saturday the 20th. I received a call on Sunday morning from the arresting officer asking me to "sign and re-sign" documents relating to that arrest. I have not been able to get to the P.D. to comply and will not be able to until later today or tomorrow. Am I under any legal obligation to do this?

 

[I AM ALWAYS LIABLE]

My response:

Why do I hear cannons, and see puffed rice all over the forums?

Got overture?

Of course you have no legal obligation to sign the forms. However, they would likely then have legal rights to report your being released as an attempt to escape and then to shoot you on sight.
BOOM!

Be afraid of a sherrif named "Big Louie" telling you "Naw, son, we put these antlers and fur coat on everyone who we like. Keeps 'em warm in the woods"

Be very afraid

This thread is a riot.

We should rename it 'Swan Lake' where he'll be found after Big Louie gets done with him

Then it turns into the dead sea.

As it turns out, the actual wording the officer used was "re-serving your paperwork, if you could just come down and sign the appropriate paperwork... speak with any officer... aaah, if you could just come down and get that paperwork signed I'd appreciate it." Since this is "re-serving" of paperwork am I required to sign them if they have been UNALTERED or am I required to sign even if they have, in fact been changed?
