Thank you, MSP, for your continued hard work keeping the community safe.
What about someone like I, who they arrested on a made up lie, cost me many thousands in defense fees, all to end up dropping the case months later because they had NO evidence because nothing happened? Then didn’t go after the liar. Some of them are not good people.
Ask an inmate, 99% claim they are innocent. You also don’t need to sound out W to spell it, it’s just W.
Yah, sure… That could be for grounds of a lawsuit, so I doubt they arrested you for no reason.
about Rep. George Santos (US House, New York). Whats the big deal about waiting for the charges to play-out instead (of expelling him)?
