Something weirdly similar happened to a family member of mine.
The police came to the door and arrested him on a hit and run charge, but he hadn't been in an accident. They browbeat him into confessing over the course of an hour but they didn't believe he'd actually been in an accident in the end because he couldn't even confess correctly, he didn't know where the accident had happened, the color or make of the car he supposedly hit, what time it happened etc.
We later found out that someone had hit and run this woman and she, and I quote "drove around until she found the person who did it." We found this out because she filed an insurance claim even after all of this-- AAA told her to go pound sand.

Also, police are just weird. Another family member wanted to be a police officer, and he did the physical and made it through the interview process-- part of which was explaining any tickets you had gotten. He had 3 tickets-- the interviewer agreed he had 3 tickets, he explains them all, then the interviewer asks, "What about the one after that?" He calmly explains that there were just the three. The interviewer persists, "But what about the one after that?" He calmly explains what "last" means and how it conflicts with the "one after that." This went on for a few minutes with the police offer pretending not to understand what was going on and being belligerent.
I suppose the point was to see if they could get him riled up? But it spooked him so much he declined the academy. They even called back every 3 months or so for years with better offers.
- appleflaxen 5y agothose are both terrible stories about law enforcement. I'm glad your brother's life wasn't ruined, because there are plenty of stories about people that weren't as lucky (and undoubtedly more locked in prison we'll never know about)
- oceanghost 5y agoWhat's even weirder is in no part of the post did I mention that I had a brother, or that he was the person these things happened to.
