Ok, let's say that one was charged with filing a false report in the state of Indiana?
The charge for filing a false report in Indiana is a Misdemeanor C or (3). Why would the state charge such a case as a Misdemeanor A? It literally involved one phone call, one police officer and a complete misunderstanding. Non-violent no drugs were involved. The police told the prosecutor that I changed my story. ( I am not an idiot, I never changed anything ) I was just wondering can they change what is supposed to be a C to an A? Oh and by the way, this happened a year ago and worked out better than I thought it would, and the case is closed. But come on a Misdemeanor A?? Thank you in advance.
Ya know Ahsoasho, they would not even let me listen to the tape when I first made the phone call which I found quite suspicious.

Police told prosecutor that you changed your story so the prosecutor had to file the charges not the police.
Obviously it was unfounded as you say.
I would have subpoenaed the tape as evidence

They charge ya with the higher offense in the hopes that you'll plead guilty to the lesser one.
Source(s): I am a retired police officer. I retired as a sergeant, after 29 years, from a very large department, about 12,000 officers. I was a patrol officer for 4 years in a very diverse area. I was a tactical officer in the high rise project areas of my city. We called it vertical patrol in that we walked the the stairways of the high rises most of the time. I did that for 5 years and was promoted by test to detective. I worked violent crime (homicide, sex, officer involved shootings, robbery, kidnapping, serious non property incidents) for 11 years until I was promoted to sergeant. I worked as a street supervisor, a bicycle patrol supervisor and a desk sergeant/watch commander. During my time as a tactical officer and a detective I was a unit representative for the police union. I have a B.A in English and an M.S. in Law Enforcement Administration
