    Default Cops Falsifying Police Reports

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: NV

    I picked up my police report for a traffic incident today and it had several facts that where falsified to make me look guilty. For example, admitting to being under the influence of drugs.

    The incident took place a week ago. How should I proceed? I want to get a drug test done but I know most drugs would already be out of me system so would it hold up in court? Also, what should I test for?

    You hire an attorney and raise reasonable doubt at trial by countering the statements made. The STATE has to prove a case against you, not the other way around.

    What kind of "traffic incident" generates a police report? A DUI?

    Yeah ... they tend to dislike that ... endangering lives and all that.

    The report is not evidence, so your alleged statement about being on drugs is likely inadmissible unless they have a chemical test to support it, or some other objective observations to support the contention that you wer eunder the influence.

    What have you been charged with?
