Q: I put my son in jail and put a protective order against him .when the police filed the police report there where errors
How do I get this fixed.?
A:
To address errors in a police report, you should first contact the police department that filed the report. Explain the situation and the specific inaccuracies you've identified. It's helpful to have any relevant documentation or evidence that supports your claim of errors in the report.
If the errors are factual, like incorrect names, dates, or details of the incident, the police department may be able to amend the report. However, if the errors are related to the interpretation of events or judgments made by the officers, these may be more challenging to change.
In the case of the protective order, if you wish to modify or rescind it, you would typically need to go back to the court that issued it. This process usually involves filing a motion or petition with the court explaining why the order should be changed or dismissed.
Given the legal complexities involved, particularly with the protective order and its implications, you might consider consulting with an attorney. They can guide you through the process, help you file the necessary documents, and represent your interests in court if needed.
Remember, clear and open communication with law enforcement and the court, along with appropriate legal guidance, can help you navigate this situation effectively.
