Yes. Years ago I was falsely accused of a crime, this was done knowingly, by a woman I previously had a relationship with. The police came to my work and I was out of the office, but they were staking out where I lived and I was going from my home to an appointment and was pulled over, cuffed & stuffed (of course the lady cop had a big mouth) and taken to jail. I had to sit in a cell with a bunch of other dudes for a few hours before I could see the magistrate to get released.
Then I had to have 3 court appearances of course of 2 months before the charges were finally dropped (my attorney had all sorts of evidence this was BS) and the bitch prosecutor tried to shake my hand and say she was sorry. I laughed in her face.
Note that neither the police or prosecutor’s office bothered to ask me if I even knew this person (I lived 20 miles away) nor did they conduct any rudimentary investigation. This is one of the reasons I’m not a fan of big government. When you freedom is taken away and threatened to be taken away for some time based on the word of a lunatic, you get a whole new perspective.
