How Witness Protection Works?

The government gives you new names, new SSI numbers, a new address in another part of the country, new jobs, everything. All ties to your former life are severed and you start a whole new life. The only way you can be found is if you are recognized by someone. The only records of what happened to the former you are held by the FBI

They would like to talk to you about your involvement in a domestic case.  They will probably question you if  they do not have solid evidence showing you were involved.  They will take you into a room usually with 2 investigators and it will probably be taped and recorded.  They will read you your rights and make you sign a piece of paper indicating you understand your rights.  If you wish to remain silent you tell them so and say you wish to consult with a lawyer first.  Depending on how serious the charges are they can hold up for up to 72 hours then they have to release you.  If you can not afford a lawyer one will be appointed to you.  And public defenders aren't the greatest.  I would go in and see what is going on.  Otherwise they could put a warrent out on you for you arrest.  Rather be safe then sorry.

From the FBI website:\n\nThe Terrorist Screening Center cannot confirm or deny whether an individual is on the consolidated terrorist watchlist, because this information is derived from classified and sensitive law enforcement and intelligence. The nondisclosure of the contents of the watch list protects the operational counterterrorism and intelligence collection objectives of the government, as well as the personal safety of those involved in counterterrorism investigations. The watchlist remains an effective tool in the government’s counterterrorism efforts because its contents are not disclosed.

Yes, once you get a summons to go testify as a witness, you must go. That is disobeying court orders. Your work HAS to legally give you time off. And don't worry about him... just be honest and take it one step at a time. Good luck!

It depends on the judge/justice of the peace/magistrate.  Legally, you are entitled to insist that you have a right to confront all witnesses against you and since the only witness who has any firsthand knowledge of what you allegedly did is not available, the case cannot proceed and must be dismissed.  But it is entirely possible that the judge/JOTP/magistrate either (1) doesn't care or (2) doesn't know what that means, and will let the hearing proceed as the judge, prosecutor, chief witness, and fact finder...to which you can object to, and his only response will be argue it on appeal.

If they are going to continue to knock on doors they need to change their policy on dealing with pedophiles within their organization.  \n\nCurrently they require members making accusations against other members to use what is known as the "two witness rule".  One member can't simply accuse another...they need another witness.  The problem is that most pedophiles don't commit their crimes in front of other people so there is never a 2nd witness.\n\nJW's are not encouraged to tell the authorities because it could "bring reproach" on the JW name and they can't have that happen.\n\nMembers who tell the police anyway have ended up being shunned for not obeying the elders and speaking against another member.  The attacker in many cases is actually treated like the victim by the church.\n\nMy point being...If you are going to come to MY neighborhood and knock on MY door and potentially come in contact with MY child....then clean out your house and stop protecting the pedophiles !

Police line-ups are when trying to identify a perpretrator, several people with similar height and weight are lined together while an eye-witness view them behind a one way mirror.  Each person is asked to step forward and turn or to even say a specific sentence to help the witness identify.  This way the witness is kept out of sight of the actual criminal & won't have to fear repercussions.\n\nI don't have a percentage on accuracy but it's my understanding that eyewitness identity is generally poor.  It appears that in the case of several witnesses each one tends to see differently.  In fact, there are wide desparities in eye-witnesses in almost every aspect.

Anyone can get all those info (except for court dates, you can get those any time) AFTER the verdict has been delivered. If you get it before, then the defense counsel can argue tainted witness testimony and the whole case can be flushed down leading to a not guilty verdict.

More important than the key codes is the record of who gets them and when.  This is done to prevent possible criminal activity.

Make sure there are witnesses in your favor to guarantee that you can claim legally for damages and avoid being charged for manipulation.

Go to the person highest up, explain what is going on and that you want to be anonymous. Also that you have witness that feel and wish the same. That way no-one knows it was you. And the big wig looks like the bad guy (as always). :)

Most of the time, it is not a great idea for the client to be on the stand because of cross-examination.  Especially if the client has anything shady in their past that could impact the trial, it is better to avoid taking the stand.  In some circumstances, a client who is articulate and believable might make a good witness.  Ohterwise, the risks far outweight any advantages.

Personally, I think there's a difference between someone who is just plain nosey and needs to be in everyones business than someone who is a witness to a crime of some sort.\n\nIf you knew your neighbor was molesting his/her own children... would you mind your business or do the right thing?\n\nIf you see someone on Yahoo answers looking for child porn or wanting to learn how to crack Yahoo passwords, would you ignore the post or report them for abuse?\n\nMe... If I become a witness to a crime, whether it's a "small" or not...I am responsible to do the right thing.

I could understand why they would protect the witness, the police do not want the person put into danger. As far as giving out information they don't want to give out information that only the person that committed the crime would know. I think it is normal to with hold information from the press. I am sure they have a reason.
