Question Regarding Correction of Police Records
Hi,
I was wondering whether I would be able to request corrections to police records when they contain statements or wording that I never actually said.
For example, a police officer wrote:
“She stated that she didn’t want to make a statement and that she was sick of police constantly calling her about this incident.”
I never said that I was “sick” of police calling me. I am concerned that wording like this could potentially have negative implications or create an inaccurate impression of me in the future.
My phone recorded the conversation, so I know exactly what was said.
That is only one example - there are a few more instances of wording that inaccurately characterises what I said.
Any advice on how to address or correct this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
