• The arrestee is convicted and sentenced to jail. But in that case, there is then proof that a police Colonel was defeating the ends of justice (if there isn't proof already).OBSERVATION: There are one or two scenarios besides -- but enough for one post. Personally, I believe that the accused may have taken advantage of the search and seize raids, since locks and bolts had been removed -- or he may have acted separately. I do not think that he was fully involved. Anyway -- again -- apart from the trauma of the raids (not only felt by me), such a situation creates potentially dangerous dynamics, costs a small fortune for the state -- and then, for me it is always a worry that, while I have evidence through the help of expensive equipment, what happens to the defenceless?
• The arrestee is declared innocent and absolved. But then the police may be charged with wrongful arrest -- not to speak of the possible demand for redress.
• Any basis for a case is removed -- say, by destroying the evidence. This already happened, on 8 September 2016. But I was in a position to replace the evidence.
• The complainant (me) is offered a bribe. This already happened, some time after the arrest was made. This was a recorded call from my would-be benefactor.
• Try to make it all vanish. This already happened, on 8 September 2016. The prosecutor approached me with a secret deal. I said no, no secrets. At this point he lost his decorum, replying "What?" (click ⊳ to Play -- apologies for the noise).
• Or string it out, and string it out, and out, so that one doesn't finally have to face the situation. So far, this case has been strung out for (almost) two years.
