You don't understand the legal helplessness because you don't live in our town. You don't live in a town where it doesn't really matter if you've done anything wrong. If the cops don't like you, they'll stretch the truth if necessary. If the cops like you, they'll let you off almost invariably.
The whole alcohol thing goes like this - if my boyfriend was drinking, even one bottle of Smirnoff Ice, and the psycho comes and causes shit, they'll blame it on him, because he was "intoxicated". They've done it to him before. I'm serious.
We've thought before that she hadn't a legal leg to stand on. Then we found out that you don't need a legal leg in this town. Just some friends in the police force.
Now, if it were just me, I might have a chance. After all, her own sister DID call the cops on her and get her arrested when she was fighting with her boyfriend. But since my boyfriend is involved, and the cops "know" him, they'll find a way, even a fabricated one, to blame it on him.
And when it comes to court, who are they going to believe? The cops, or a guy with 2 counts of assault?
Like I said before, it may not happen. We may be able to nail this bitch. The cops may cooperate. But there is enough of a chance that the whole operation could backfire to scare us shitless.
Which is why we are trying with all our might to find a way out of this black hole of a town.
But the tape recorder is a good idea. Are you sure it's legal? I know in some instances at least, recording conversations without everyone's permission is illegal. But you're sure it's OK in your own home?
At the very least, we could play back her conversations to her and make it harder to change her story on us. And at the best, we can catch her making threats, etc., and get the restraining order I'm longing for.
