    please start your own thread. It is rude to "hijack" another's thread and it leads to all sorts of confusion.

    I doubt any more is going to come of it. No one can predict what might happen next ... probably nothing.

    The officer was likely typing the disposition of his contact into the computer, or keying that he was clear for calls.

    there is no way to know what is going to happen. If you are the person that did the flashing, I suspect you will be arrested. If you look a lot like the guy that was flashing, I suspect you might be arrested and will have to defend yourself. If you do not look like the guy that was flashing, you probably won't here from the police again concerning this issue.

    Since the took pictures of you, I would think they are going to show them to the victim and ask them if it was you. If they ID you, expect a visit from the police but this time you will get to go for a ride with them.

    Even if you are innocent, you are best off shutting up after you have identified yourself.

    You don't know what they did & the police don't have to tell you the truth. I would not put anything in writing unless your attorney tells you to (then it may become privileged). Now if they ask you ? again, and they could be the same ? as before, and you answer differently then you will open yourself up to a heap of possible trouble.

    You may wish to seek out a lawyer and have him on retainer just in case (make sure its a refundable retained if the police interest in you dies).

    how this going to work?

    will they have to tally pictures with the ONe who called them and complained ? or would it going to be with random people

    and do the caller or one who complaint .... have to legally file the case or NOt?

    I wouldn't even put it verbally without an attorney present. I guarantee the first thing an attorney would tell you is not to speak to them at all and if you're arrested to remain silent unless he is present.

    I have no idea what you are talking about, but if they have pictures, or if they have credible testimony that you exposed yourself, it matters NOT who made the initial complaint. If you want better answers, SPEAK in sentences.

    thanks.,

    i do not know who made the complaint ., but the cops told me that he had recived complaint saying that i was trying to expose my self .
    he asked me did you exposed yourself ? i said NO . then he asked another cop to take my pictures for Identification and they took my couple of pictures with their digital camera., with full lenght and also photo size one . and they had my ID information with them ..

    does the party who initated complaint has to file a legal case ? or it doesnt really matter for them to file a case ?

    As I told you before, it doesn't matter WHO makes a complaint. You're not being charged or prosecuted by the girls you flashed, it is the STATE that is bringing the charges against you as the injured party. The state will have to show evidence that you committed the crime (testimony of the victim is pretty compelling). Of course any incriminating statements you made to police can be used against you in court. Contrary to public belief Miranda is not required and your own statements made to officers are not prohibited hearsay.
