Shouldn't have admitted shit to that cop. If they came asking questions about this, tell them to talk to your lawyer and go away.
I'm certain a decent public defender could turn this around, but if you admit to everything on bodycam, you're screwed. It sucks that we have to live like this, afraid to defend our own property and privacy because we'll be fucking thrown into prison.
This cop says he's in "a lot" of trouble. I don't understand why- this should be treated like peeping, and I think you're pretty well within your rights to shoot someone in the face if they're standing in your yard, staring through your window.
The way the law should work, to protect self-defenders, is that the next action that a criminal will take will lead to the WORST POSSIBLE OUTCOME. But it's like the courts expect you to read a criminal's mind, and that you MUST TRUST THE CRIMINAL not to hurt you or use what they've stolen from you against you somehow. Fuck that. If someone kicks my door in, why can't I assume they mean to kill me and steal everything in the building?
