I completely agree and that's one reason why I did call it in, follow the car, and waited for the state troopers.
Lets just say all country "folk" aren't as nice as we claim country "folk" to be in my neck of the woods. Reality is we have some VERY interesting people in my area, some who don't care about others and the law. End of the day, I just don't want problems with people, particularly those that live around me. Now I have to testify in court with the woman and her family in court, which in all honesty, I really don't care to do. Kind of black and white as to what I saw, it was reported, I waited, the troopers (sat around for about an hour out of my work time) who found the woman. Not certain why a sworn statement wouldn't work.
When you witness something egregious like that, you have to show your face and prove your convictions of what you saw. After all, you were the one who got the ball rolling on this. Now its you who has to make their case. Youre the lead witness. The defendant has a lot to lose in money and freedom.
Think of it this way, if our justice system allowed anyone to just phone-in accusations of crimes ay any level, we’d have a lot of false accusations of crimes. It allows citizens to destroy each other’s lives by false accusation.
