Thanks for sharing. Very helpful.On a thread a while ago I said I might declare a weird issue of our lives this year
So here it is
May last year a piece of shit driving down our shared drive faster than I / we would like while I brought our bin in, got a piece of my advice , a minor scuffle occurred at which point POS said he was calling the police as I had assaulted him I replied good luck with that and went back inside my house
Long story short he massively exaggerated the events , police were called via 999, police never spoke to me, I was arrested held in a cell for 12 hours, released on bail charged with assault and criminal damage
Pleaded not guilty , went to court last month, CPS withdrew criminal damage charge before starting , then 60 minutes in after my solicitor cross referenced his 999 call with our CCTV withdrew other charge
What a load of stress for me and my family and waste of money for the system all because they fell hook line etc for POS lies
I have to hope he will be taken back to court for wasting police time , I can’t even recover full cost of my own legal fees
Note to all, my guilt was ‘presumed’ because I didn’t call 999, I was asked when interviewed why I hadn’t , I said because nothing really happened and POS had already called, why call twice I would next time
