Q: A cop keep threatening me with a warrant, but never did it. is he Lying about getting one?
He say he has proof of a crime i commited, and was going to get a warrant for my arrest, but ever did it. He was threatened me with it mulitple times, but still hasnt. He wants me to come in and confess my crimes to get me a better deal with the da. i know that isnt true. but is he just saying he can get a warrant because he doesnt have enough evidence to actually get me for the crime
A: This is a ruse perpetrated by police in New York and elsewhere. The only warrant is from a judge and is not likely under your circumstances. Sounds like the officer wants you to come in so he can place you under arrest. If thats the case get an attorney; never go in alone - and if you do say nothing except your name, address, height, weight and other personal information, and state explicitly that you will not talk without an attorney being present.
