A:
It sounds like you're dealing with a very stressful and complex situation. When the District Attorney (DA) assumes your guilt and shares case details with an officer in a way that influences their opinion, it can lead to what’s known as "prejudicial bias." This means the officer might develop a biased view of you and the case before even investigating fully, which can unfairly impact the way you're treated.
In your situation, it seems like you were trying to ensure your and your child’s safety, but instead found yourself in an even more troubling scenario. When you called the police for help, it’s understandable that you would be shocked and upset by their response, especially if they seemed unwilling to assist or understand your side of the story.
It’s important to seek legal advice as soon as possible to protect your rights and get clarity on the situation. Document everything that happened, including any interactions with law enforcement, as this could be crucial if you need to challenge their actions or the DA’s assumptions.
