I have been charged with false statement as a felony. My vehichle was involved in a crime in which I had no idea about, I gave the police false info on who was driving the car not knowing what the car was involved in. I was not read any rights or anything when the investigator came to my home to ask about the driver of the car nor did I write anything down. I was cohersed to come into the investigators office thinking I was going to get my car back. When I went in the investigator asked me about the driver of the car the night the crime was committed. I did indeed tell the truth and the officer recoreded my true statement. My rights were never read to me and oh yeah on my warrant paper they have that I lied at the investigators office but that's when I told the truth about the driver of car. At my home was when I lied about who drove the car. I woyuld take the charge of giving a false statement but what I'm not understanding is how can it be a felony charge being that I had nothing to do with or knowlegde of the crime that was committed. The police lied to me three times about how they got a hold of my car. They also kept my car as evidence until the driver turned themselves in ( can they do That). Also my car was parked at least 3 blocks where crime was committed did the officers have the right to seize my car? Please need help I'm a single parent of 1 and I have a clean record.
