Re: forced to help

The police can't "force" you to do anything other than going to and from a cell.

I suggest you see an attorney ASAP!

Unfortunately for your "someone" it is a technique used every day. Your

"someone" can refuse to cooperate if cooperating is too dangerous and face a less dangerous arrest.

Call me if you like.
