Thing is, everyone has seen this photo by now. The person in the photo has seen the photo. People who know him have seen the photo. If it were a photo of me, I’d be like, “Oh shit, I better call a lawyer because these cops think I killed someone” and call to clear up the mistake. I’d let everyone know that’s a pic of me, but I am not the murderer.
Nobody has done that yet.
You’re brave if you think that would be enough for them to leave you alone. I’ve know a few people who’ve been stalked and harassed for years by cops who had nothing on them.
Sure, but that’s why my first call is a lawyer. Establish an iron-clad alibi, and point out that I don’t have United Health Insurance or any medical debt, bring in my doctor who says my arthritis would prevent me from riding a bike that far, package all that up into a single irrefutable tweet and then go have a primetime interview with a cable news reporter. You can’t trust the cops, but if you make it known that you are in the photo and you didn’t do it, they will hopefully leave you alone.
Never talk to the police even to give evidence that proves your innocence, never ever ever talk to them get a lawyer the justice system is slow and on your side the police can NEVER HELP YOU
Edit: the police are part of executive branch they enforce the law, there’s a difference between all the branches. Police have to prove their case to the judicial, but as they clarified in our basic Miranda rights from that cops tv show back in the day ANYTHING YOU SAY CAN AND WILL BE USED AGAINST YOU
Don’t say anything lol why would you?
To be clear this is more difficult to realize in the moment you are being questioned. Just sing an old Martin Luther king song to yourself if you know you are innocent.
Seriously? If someday my face appeared on a wanted poster for a crime i did not commit and did not have clear alibi, i’ll lay low.
Someone with my motives might have killed a CEO the other day and so I’m trynna lay low too just in case
Can’t you do all that after they catch you? Cause there is a chance they won’t and you doing that might increase your chances of getting caught and being wrongly convicted.
You’re right, the dude in the photo is probably AI generated, so the poliece looks like they have a suspect already and nobody is going to embarrass them.
