QUESTION

Can the cops charge me?

Asked on Mar 12th, 2014 on Felonies - New Jersey
More details to this question:
A friend of my daughters father told me that my daughters father was trying to "take a hit out on us". I icalled the police on this matter and now they are claiming I made it up and they wnt me to take a polygraph test. They said if their able to charge me I will go to prison and lose my daughter. I'm not sure if the person who told me was telling the truth or not but I told the cops everything he told me, which means on my part as far as I know I did not lie about anything. I'm going to refuse the polygraph since I'm the victim, not a criminal. Can they charge me with filing a fake police report though if everything I told them is what I know to be truth? I can not afford a lawyer so any help given here will be greatly appreciated.

the police are upset because you filed a report with them or called them and said your life was in danger. the police have an obligation to investigate when such a claim is made. i would prepare a written statement for the police explaining in detail what happened. i would have your witnesses prepare a similar statement. i would then thank the police for investigating this threat against your life. you should be able to address these issues with the police. ed dimon, esq.
