Any case based solely on testimony should be dismissed. <cite>RadiantJoyrock posted [p:953885207] in Police tes...

OffTempo 05/14/21 12:38:34 AM #6:	RadiantJoyrock posted... No it isn't. Just their testimony is enough in lieu of actual evidence. I'm going to assume you're talking about uniformed officers and traffic offenses. Traffic offenses have a different burden of proof than criminal charges. The standard for traffic offenses is preponderance of evidence. That aside, each squad car is equipped with a dash cam. Which is why cops search you, detain you, arrest you, talk to you, etc. in front of their vehicle. Also, they have radar guns. The speed they have to increase to catch up to a speeding vehicle is also recorded and can be used as evidence. --- Interviewer: "You're not even a superhero you're more of a vampire slayer."

Blade_Trinity 05/14/21 1:24:17 AM #7:	RadiantJoyrock posted... Yeah, honestly. Eye witness testimony is already wildly unreliable, there needs to be hard evidence. So rapes, murders, kidnapping etc etc will get thrown out of court because no video/ forensic evidence. Hell, why even bother investigating any crime? It would save a lot of time and money.

Hell, why even bother investigating any crime? It would save a lot of time and money. You're not right in the head. If someone is convicted of rape/murder/kidnapping etc. based entirely on testimony, that is definitely not proof beyond a reasonable doubt of anything and shouldn't be happening anyway. But you'd have to understand reason and not just overly emotional reactions to realize that. --- PSN/GT: BigDaffej <cite>EmbraceOfDeath posted [p:953905991] in Police tes...

Payzmaykr 05/14/21 4:03:02 PM #10:	I dont have the evidence or any proof that he did it, but Im saying that he did it, so charge him for it. Thats what needs to stop. Innocent until proven guilty, not guilty because a cop says so. <cite>Payzmaykr posted [p:953906198] in Police tes...

Hell, why even bother investigating any crime? It would save a lot of time and money. You're not right in the head. Rape is the only one that really gives me issue. I want to make it clear that if someone gives a statement to police they should still act and investigate and try to find evidence the same way I wanted before. The change I want here is that if they go through investigation and they can't find ANYTHING that backs up the witnesses statement, it shouldn't be charged. In the vast majority of cases that go to trial, they will have evidence other than testimony. <cite>RadiantJoyrock posted [p:953909415] in Police tes...
