There was a police report issued that makes allegations against me that I have objected to based on other people lying in interviews. Is there any way I can argue a police report or file suit against those who are lying about me?

There is a procedure for arguing a police report, and they vary state to state. However, filing a suit against people for lying about you is a little more complicated and may not be possible. Usually, the only suit against people lying about you would be the District Attorney filing a perjury charge against those people, because lying to the police on a police report is a crime. To argue the allegations in a police report, you should contact the police department to dispute the charges and give your own statements. However, before contacting them, you should speak with an experienced local criminal lawyer to understand the particular procedures for doing this, and to ensure that you don’t accidently say something you should not have and find yourself in trouble. It would be wise to have a lawyer present when you speak with the judge so as to protect your rights and ensure you are properly represented in any police questioning.
