Q: What can be done about KFC employees making a false report to the police
KFC employees called police after we went thru the drive through and told police there was a gun in my car being pointed to the backseat at my son and granddaughter by me. We went thru paid for our food, stopped and parked as there was missing fries. My spouse went inside got the fries and sauce then we left. I learned later when police showed up at my in laws then my home. I've never been in trouble a day in my life. My anxiety is thru the roof because of this. I'm extremely upset and confused about this.
A:
I understand how upsetting and confusing this situation must be for you. It's important to address the anxiety you're feeling and to take steps to protect yourself legally. The first thing you should do is document everything that happened, including any receipts, witness statements, and your own account of the events.
You might consider contacting the police department to get more information about the report that was made and to provide your side of the story. Explaining what happened calmly and clearly can help the police understand the situation better. It's also a good idea to ask for any official records or reports related to the incident.
Lastly, it could be beneficial to seek legal advice. A legal professional can help you understand your rights and the best way to handle this situation. They can provide guidance on how to proceed if you believe the report was made maliciously or without proper cause. Take care of yourself and remember that there are steps you can take to address this issue.
