My buddy's ex-girlfriend(hasn't been dating or seeing on over 7 years but shares custody with daughter) called the police on new years eve 1999 saying that he was going to blow up the city. What made it worse was that he was on probation from another made up thing she did, so the police were able to walk right in and arrest him. they found NOTHING, he wasn't even drinking (part of probation rules)on one of the biggest party nights of the century, and NO CHARGES were filed against her. He sat in jail for 30 days with no charges, no violations not a word but "under invesitgation".

He normally didn't even go into the house until he'd seen she had gone to bed. - Less than an hour later, two local police approached the gate and asked him come talk to them. - Across the fence, they informed him that they were responding to a domestic violence call. His wife had called 911 because she claimed he had come into the house with a wrench and threatened her. - He tried to explain that he hadn't even been in the house. They were polite but insisted that he close up the garage and come with them. They arrested him with no proof except a statement from her. At their divorce hearings, she used this as evidence to get custody of the kids and restrict his visitation. There appears to be no limit to the evil that people will do to one another.
