Officer Knowingly Provided False Information Resulting in an Arrest

My question involves civil rights in the State of: Vermont the officer knowingly lied and even forgot to turn off his audio when he said he knew he couldn't prove anything but because there was a civil suspension on my record I'd automatically getting 18 months sentence until it went to court what can I do

Let's start with something basic. What proof are you able to provide that he knowingly lied, as opposed to making a mistake?

Translate that for us. Are you stating that you were stopped for driving on a suspended license and, apart from anything the officer could or could not prove, were arrested for driving on a suspended license?

Meaning what? That you're on probation and that you received an 18 month sentence for violating probation? Don't make us guess -- we need facts.
[QUOTE=Stevethebuilder]until it went to court
That makes no sense. You can only receive an 18 month sentence on a matter that has already gone to court, as sentences are issued by judges.

You need to do a much better job explaining what happened.

My apologies my wife was in an accident on her way home the police believed that I was driving their statement was that they could not prove I was driving and it would get thrown out of court but if they charge me I would receive an 18 month civil suspension as I was just found guilty of civil DUI but was not found guilty I believe that is the reason why the officers thought I was driving as far as them lying in the police affidavit they stated that they talked to numerous Witnesses which saw me drinking in the an American Legion however I cannot be in that particular American Legion and had not been the entire year the officer knew that I drank their based on past experience

The state police also brought the state liquor inspector to the American Legion the third visit while trying to find the people that the local police said I was there

And this proves that the officer, and not the alleged witnesses, were lying how?

There were no Witnesses I actually have a no trespass order on the property because of a customer of mine that did not pay his bill. The police officer that stated he had spoken to numerous people at that establishment knew that I previously frequent it there but did not know that I had not been there at all in 2018. And my arraignment was after the three separate visits to the establishment trying to find the witnesses that did not exist yet this Trooper still had it in his report that he would provide the witnesses.

You are still missing the point I am attempting to make. Perhaps I am being too subtle.

Right now you have nothing but a he-said-she-said. When it's you against law enforcement, a judge is going to accept the word of a law enforcement officer, who really has no reason to lie (he gets paid the same either way and isn't facing any penalties) over someone who is facing fines, suspension, and possibly jail.

You think there were no witnesses. The trooper says there were and that he will provide them. If you go into court and he provides the witnesses that's it, you're done. If you go into court and he doesn't, there are still two options; he lied about the witnesses, or he was mistaken about the witnesses. Either way, there are no witnesses. It now comes down to believability.

How are you going to spend your time in court? What's going to do you the most good? Does it really matter, in the long run, whether he lied or was mistaken? Is proving one over the other really the best use of your time?

And why don't you have a lawyer taking care of all this for you?

Can absolutely manners every day we're losing more and more rights and if I'm supposed to be expected to live in abide by the rules they should have to play by the same rules they're trying to charge me with false information just because they thought I drove and I also do have a lawyer the previous time that I was arrested I went crochet all the way to jury trial in one however the Civil which came first was by the same judge who was not happy that I appear before him without a lawyer as it might have cost more time in his car and how he can mistakenly have several witnesses as stated in his affidavit and in the discovery I'll never know as I am physically trespassed from the building he said the witnesses saw me consuming alcohol in

I went pro series on the previous arrest

The lawyer that I have is handling my criminal case and the Civil suspension but because of the Havoc this has had on my life which is exactly what the trooper said would happen over his audio I am seriously considering filing a complaint and civil lawsuit this has cost myself and my family far too much money to be simply swept under the rug

Okay then.

Am I crazy or foolish to pursue this am I being too idealistic
