Jail time needed for false warrants
I am writing this in regards to an article in the newspaper Aug. 30. It concerns a girl getting jail time for taking out a warrant on her boyfriend and lying on the warrant.
This seems to be happening a lot. I know of a case right now where a girl has taken a warrant on another girl for vandalism and it is a lie.
People, if you need a warrant on someone please be honest when you go to the jail and swear out a warrant. You are supposed to tell the truth. Eventually the truth comes out and then you know who is guilty – you are for lying.
The innocent ones have to make bond, be fingerprinted, have their picture taken, and get a lawyer. I know the judicial commissioners are doing their job, but it is up to the person swearing out a warrant to be honest. What you write on the warrant is supposed to be the truth.
Every person who is caught lying about a warrant they have taken out should get jail time. That way maybe while you sit in the jail cell you could try to learn how to become honest. It says in the Bible, “Thou shalt not lie.”
Sincerely,
