Inducing Panic appears to be abused law in Ohio
I was charged myself with Inducing Panic in Ohio due to what now felony convicted famous lawyer Scott W. Spencer had been harassing me, telling dozens of people, that I was a dangerous criminal out to kill his peers, and other lies plus evidence he fabricated to illegally win a 2001 Marion, Ohio, court case against me for the National Jaycees who he convinced that I was found guilty in criminal cases which he had made up to be popular.
Part of the inducing panic charge was my protesting being called a killer and I wrote about shooting from the hip. It turns out we have many cops who know very little about expressions and they feel their life is in danger if they hear anything new which sounds like a threat. However it is odd that lawmen can in effect induce panic and claim it was necessary as part of their job even if it was a stupid mistake like a 17 year old might make. So I do have complaints that the law is being abused.
If a person is charged with inducing panic as a result of being harassed, threatened, illegally blackmailed and/or handicaps and/or mental health problems then it seems reasonable that the charges be considered not valid. However I actually had my own lawyer email an admission that he lied to me, got me off by claiming that I was nuts, and knowingly ignored if I was a victim of crime myself. In fact this lawyer wrote that I should not claim that I was a victim of crime unless someone was convicted of a crime against me. So, by his logic, I should not report a possible crime unless the suspect was first convicted or some such mind blowing logic.
Getting a lawyer is reasonable but I suggest finding additional support to help warn you if your lawyer does not seem to be doing their job as required by law. Since many lawyers profit from problems with the legal system itself like dishonest cops, etc., you may discover that it is rare for a lawyer to honesty verify if you were a victim of illegal conduct by other people, etc. They make money no matter what happens. However they might make more money if they give you reasons to trust them versus my last lawyer who blew my mind emailing me that he was basically ineffective counsel.
On the positive side, I learned a lot about how the legal system actually works and trust myself more than I trust most lawyers. If only Lincoln was still alive and willing to be my lawyer. He may have had some issues himself but I will take a man willing to consider consequences over one who fails to verify facts like my last lawyer.
