My license plate was reported in a theft from retail store. Police are calling me. What can happen? I was not stealing.

Please do not post the same question multiple times. When someone who has information about this issue sees the question, they will respond. You will not get more or better answers by posting more than once.

Do yourself a favor. Innocent or not, do not make any statement to the police. Ignore them. If they have enough information to arrest you then they will. If they do, say nothing other than to ask for a lawyer.

You may have loaned your car to someone.
You could tell the police that you loaned your car to Jiggy Wiggy.
But, you don't know if Jiggy Wiggy loaned your car to Sticky Fingers.
Sticky Fingers could very well have STOLEN stuff, lots of stuff.
But, if Sticky Fingers did those dirty deeds, and you were at home playing with your cat, Purr Fect; you wouldn't know a darn thing.

So, here are your rights:

You don't have to answer your phone.
You don't have to answer any questions, even if the FBI started calling you.
Whatever you say will be used against you in court of law.
Translation: You blab, they'll use YOUR words to jam you up!
Okay, moving on, if the cops visit you, you aren't obligated to tell them anything.
They will use all manner of tricks, lies, and deceptions to get you to say something.
They might even say they want to help you.
Trust me, they want to arrest, charge, and convict you.
Again, anything and everything you say will be used in a court of law to convict you, and as many others as they can.

Be smart, if they appear, simply say, "I am operating under my right to remain silent. I have nothing to say about anything."

Its okay to confirm your name, address, date of birth, the car you own, and information already public record - your previous convictions, your height, weight, race, etc...

If you are on probation or parole, EVERYTHING posted above doesn't apply to you.

But, if you were at home with your cat, Purr Fect, and not riding dirty with Jiggy Wiggy or Sticky Fingers; its okay to say "I don't know nothing about any thefts. I was home all morning with my cat, Purr Fect. (Or, I was at work. You can call my boss, Miss Bigg Stuff to confirm my story."


Good luck....

You have the right to remain silent I suggest you exercise that right. Whomever borrowed or used your car did so while committing a theft. You have no obligation to talk to Police.
