my girlfriend was telling all of those detaining her that I was in no way any part of her shoplifting problem. I was out in the parking lot feeding my kid a McHappyMeal. Once they asked to search my car ( the 2 LEO's I 1st encountered), and I said ,"No Sir.I cannot in good conscience give up my right to say no.".Apparently the police believe you were in on it. It will be up to the state to prove the elements of the offense. If your girlfriend 'fesses up and admits you did not know anything about it, then you will probably see the case against you go away because of reasonable doubt. However, if she gave you up and said you were in on it with her, you could be in trouble.
The cuffs went on and my name was run. Standard proceedure, I know. I come back clean with no wants or warrants. But , I do have an ancient past yet to be expunged.
So, after some deceptively asked questions on the MPD officers part, which will make the tactic used cast shame on the MPD officer for deliberately being a dick and twisting what he meant and twisting what I said yes to.
I'm getting a lawyer as of tommorrow I've 2 consultations for 2 different firms.
thanks
