Always use a voice recorder before and after sex. U should get into the habit of doing it, you never know what might happen a couple weeks or a month after.
I was hit with a false allegation, I told the detective I will not speak unless I have an attorney, I was never charged, but they wanted to speak to me. I'm in the US.
I met this girl, liked her, chilled, etc. Cool covos n shit. I knew she was a slut, I did not care, she tried to hide it. I'm not the type of person to bring people down, unless i must.
We were both in highschool and walked home together, we chilled at a park and we fucked in the women's bathroom. I walked in there to piss, she pulled me into the stall. Got down to business.
She liked it, eventually we grew apart and we was on to the next. Couple months later a detective calls and tells me I have a rape allegation.
I had no evidence and after I met with the detective and told, I would not speak unless I have a lawyer, i thought I was fucked.
Found evidence on her Instagram and I was ready
Never got a call back from the detective. I never thought I'd be hit with an allegation, I was one of those "What are the odds"
Beware of religious women, strap up, and have proof.

Just follow some best practices: never delete texts, don't just hard-next them after fucking them, take a selfie after meeting them "for a momento," and you'll be in a way better position than most clueless guys. Don't have to go crazy with voice recorders and what not.
NEVER talk to a detective. Not even to give them the "unless I have my lawyer" line. Just ignore if they knock on your door. Ignore, ignore, and ignore. Ignore calls. Hang up. Delete voicemails. Don't even say a goddamned thing to the cop.
I hooked up with this black girl who then slung a rape accusation. Detective hunted me down, I didn't give him the time of the day at all. Hired an attorney, detective requested that I show up for a line-up to be recognized by her. I ignored.
Still nothing until today

If you use Snapchat, I would also get a screen recorder that is undetectable. That way, you can scroll through your messages on Snapchat and save them. And yes, I use a voice recorder on every first couple of dates with a new woman if I can help it. I'm not paranoid, cause I'd rather have a couple megabytes filled up that I could delete later, rather than having a career damaging thousand dollar lawsuit on my hands.

Just basically dealt with this. My now ex I found was sexting another dude and cheated on me. I immediately broke up with her (obviously). She wouldn’t stop harassing me and threatening me and for some reason in her trying to get me back and to come talk to her she thought threatening false allegations would work. As soon as I got the chance I blocked her on everything and changed my phone number. Always protect yourself. I actually had a small conversation with an officer about it, he’d been through the same situation not long before and gave me his info if she came into contact with me again so I had the trail showing her threats. She was a bad person. Probably still is. Taught me to give less of a fuck and to be better to myself though which is ok with me. I actually saw her at a bar I was at last night. I feel for the new dude.
ice_and_snow 5y ago
I feel you bro. Had similar experience. She cheated on me while I was working abroad for two months. I've collected the evidence and changed the keys to the apartment, sent her stuff to her friends address. That saved my ass. She tried to win me back, when that didn't work she threatened me. 'I am not enjoying doing this, and I would not if I there was no absolute evidence of waht you did' was my answer. Shitty times...

Dude. Light years too far. Penalty for the false accusation should be the maximum penalty the accused would have faced - with no possibility for the judge to mitigate said punishment. To many judges go light the moment they see something with a vagina.
Edit: and a false accuser registry would be nice. With the same rules. They'd have to wander around to their neighbors for the rest of their lives informing them etc etc.

I'm convinced this is the only way to handle a false rape accusation. Don't say it was consensual, because now you've admitted to having sex and all they have to do is show lack of consent. If you say "I want to talk to a lawyer, and I don't want to talk to you to protect my constitutional rights", they basically have nothing at all and give up.
Never say anything at all. You basically win if you do that.

The police only want a conviction. They are under pressure to "improve" their sexual assault conviction rate. They assume you're guilty and don't care if not.
As said above: don't admit to sex. If she can show she might have been drunk you've got a big fucking problem. If she can't prove sex, it's much better for you.

Yup, I mentioned it at some point and someone else commented with the video link. It's a lawyer and a cop giving their points on dealing with police.

Is this a US-only thing because of your constitutional rights?
Wondering if this would also work in the UK.
BackVan 5y ago
You have far more rights as a US citizen than you do in the UK. For one thing, the US Constitution and Bill Of Rights ensures all citizens have certain rights when being investigated, arrested and tried for a criminal conviction.
Think about it this way - the establishment had to create a whole branch of pseudo-law to get around the constitutional rights of the accused (Title IX on college camuses) as the protections given by the constitution are so strong. In the UK, this is not necessary, as the police and courts can and do pretty much whatever they like. In theory we have the ECHR, but the law is so loose and vague that the only people who can benefit from it are those with access to very expensive lawyers, which usually turn out to be terrorists or those associated to terrorists. It also doesn't help that the prosecution routinely fail to disclose vital evidence that would help the accused.
If you are suspected of any kind of criminal offence against a woman, you will likely be immediately arrested. There is also a good chance you will be held in remand if it is a serious allegation (rape, etc.). The value of testimony is much higher in the UK courts compared to the States, especially if she can convince her friends to testify as well (happens more often than you might think). The police will not exercise discretion - that is reserved for senior BBC employees and members of an unnamed religion. It is likely that you will have to do any explaining in front of a judge.
My advice would be to politely cooperate with the police, but do not mention anything about the case to them. You have the right to a solicitor in the police station - use it. Even if it is only the court appointed one. Do not agree to being questioned until you have consulted with your solicitor, and have the solicitor in the room with you. The police will push you hard to forego the solicitor - do not give in and insist on their presence. Even if they say you will need to be kept in the cell for a few more hours, go with the solicitor.
Something else, if you are innocent and you are given the option to go with Magistrates amor the Crown Court, always go with the crown. This will be more expensive (you will need a barrister) but this gives you the right to a jury trial. Magistrates courts are a joke.
Text messages are useful evidence, along with photos, social media, etc. This is because a woman making a false accusation is likely to: 1) Embellish the story about how 'scared' she is of you, and; 2) Wait a while before deciding to make the accusation. Having these messages can be used to poke holes in her story - e.g. why is she laughing and enjoying herself in photographs with you, when she claimed she is so scared of you she had to hide?
Such hole-poking can be incredibly useful, especially in a jury trial where the jurors will not be bound by pro-women politics as much as the magistrates / judges.

The_Sloth_Racer 5y ago
UK citizens actually have way more rights. I live in the US but learned this when I was watching a documentary about how many people here in the US give false confessions and get convicted, only to have to fight for years while locked up to prove their innocence. The news/documentary crew hired a former UK detective to watch the police interviews and the "confessions" and he talked about how many things went wrong and how the UK had recently changed their laws to limit false confessions and limit what police could do to get confessions or arrests. It was very eye opening because in the past, I never understood how someone could confess to a crime they didn't commit, especially a serious crime like murder, but the countless videos they showed, illustrated how easy it is for a trained police officer to get someone to falsely confess. This is why they say to always keep your mouth shut, especially if you're innocent.

Can you elaborate on why we “win” if we don’t say anything? Never ever had this kind of trouble, hope I never will, but I’m just curious. Are you essentially saying all cops are out to prove you wrong just so they can fill quota?
simplisticallysimple 5y ago
YES. They don't give a shit about truth. They want to bump their arrest numbers up. DON'T GIVE INTO THEM. They're mostly pigs. They don't CARE. They presume you're guilty anyway. THEY'RE REMUNERATED BASED ON # OF ARRESTS; DON'T BE AN EASY TARGET.
Avoid and ignore them, and if they box you in, LITERALLY remain silent. Not a single word to say ANYTHING.
eaazzy_13 5y ago
Not just so they can fill quota, but because it’s their job. Their job is to charge people with crimes, not determine who is innocent and who is not. That’s the job of lawyers.
carnegierockefeller 5y ago
Mirandize yourself out loud slowly and see how it sounds and then consider that the person who is putting the cuffs on you is only telling you those things because they are required by law, and otherwise they would not. The law enforcement system and criminal justice system are machines, and they are programmed to work. They are a hammer, and they function to see if everything they run across can act as a nail.
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything, ANYTHING you DO or SAY......CAN........ and WILL be used AGAINST YOU in a COURT OF LAW.".
I'm sure most police and judges and prosecutors are nice people in their personal lives but when it comes to work they are just one of many cogs in a big machine and are there to do their job and go home, and their job is to run a person through the machine to see if the machine and determine they're a criminal......
and the machine IS NOT PERFECT. Its like a wood chipper...its great at taking brush and turning it into mulch but if make an error and feed it a person or a human limb it'll grind that up too.

They have the burden of proof. They need at least *something* more than just the woman's word.
Don't give them that something and they really don't have anything to go on.
If you say "she's a liar", that proves you know her pretty well. Theyll make a big deal about that to a jury. If you just shut the hell up and ask for your attorney, there's virtually no chance they'll even take it to trial.
Shut the hell up and ask for your attorney. I don't care if the God Damn cop asks you for the time of day. Shut the hell up and ask for your attorney. That's literally the only way to deal with the cops.
There's no quota. The cop is sent to get anything they can use at trial. If you don't give them that, the DA will basically tell the girl, look, there's nothing more than your word on this and my boss will never let me waste the money on a trial this weak. He didn't even admit to knowing you before he asked for his attorney, because the only thing any Male now says to a cop is "I want to talk to my lawyer, I wont talk to you to protect my rights under the constitution".

This is gospel. Many people don't understand you are NOT required to answer any question from an officer or detective. None. You are under no oath and you owe no answer.

grewapair 5y ago
There's always pressure on cops to make an arrest in every case, and to provide enough evidence that the guy pleads it. But if you shut the hell up, the cop has no probable cause and no evidence. He'll move on to a more promising suspect in a different case: he knows he can't win them all.
The_Sloth_Racer 5y ago
There are still quotas and numbers but it's illegal so they're not supposed to so they do it secretly now. I live in Mass and a few months ago it was leaked to the news when one local police department sent emails to their officers telling them they needed to arrest more people and fill out more tickets for that month and certain officers then forwarded those emails to the news station. So even though quotas are technically illegal, it's still common.

Yeah I know, those evil white people amiright? Ask Harvard University economist Roland G.

Im sure it has nothing to do with certain groups disproportionately committing crimes, as NCVS data shows that black men are up to 3 times as likely to commit a violent crime as a white man.

Also, even if you tell the cops something fantastically in your favor it can not be used to help you. At trial your lawyer can ask the cop, “so what did my defendant tell you that convinced you of his innocence?” Before the cop can answer the DA will object that this is hearsay and the judge won’t allow it.
So nothing you say will ever help you.

grewapair 5y ago
The cop needs probable cause to make an arrest. If all he has is the accusation, and then your complete silence, he has no probable cause. No lawyer needed, because the cop really cant arrest you with just a bare unsupported accusation. That's what appears to have happened to OP.
If they had DNA evidence, they already have probable cause (or the cop is a dick and has nothing), and the cop is just questioning you to fish for more evidence, you'd have two routes after your arrest. If you can bond out, you hire a lawyer at that point. If you're broke, theyll appoint a public defender.
With nothing more than an accusation, and your total silence, if they actually brought it to a PD, you'd be out in an hour, all charges dismissed. Your lawyer will have the charges dismissed in 30 seconds.
Shut the hell up, and don't talk to your cellmate. He's likely a cop, or a snitch. Talk about baseball or the weather. Tell them you have no idea why you were arrested, but it might have something to do with the Lindbergh kidnapping.

That accusation works because people don't go around screaming other people robbed a bank because they are mad at them. A rape case is very different, and without some other evidence, a rape case would never make it to trial. So a cop would usually need more.
123t123t 5y ago
Adding on to this since I've dealt with a situation similar before. A lawyer is nice if you can afford it but you can literally say "I'm not answering any of your questions and this is the last word I will speak from here on out." if a cop comes to speak to you at your house, on the sidewalk or at the station and then stare blankly at them while they try to get you to say another word. You don't need a lawyer to remain silent and you damn sure don't have to talk. It is important that if you choose to remain silent that you remain COMPLETELY silent as I believe if you answer any questions (even if they are about the weather) it is consent to having a conversation and it ends up keeping you there longer.
A detective told our criminal Justice class something like 50% of all murders would be unsolvable if people adhered to their rights and kept their mouth shut. Let that sink in and remember it.

However, if you are physically detained the above advice still holds true: don't say a word. Even under detention it is well within your rights to say nothing.

-only go to her place for SEX and no meeting room mates
-Use a fake name/FB and dont let her see your car/plates
-Audio recording sex. NOTE: even if you're in a 2 party consent state, that doesn't keep a prosecutor from going 'oh shit' and throwing your case out because even if it's not admissible as evidence, they know she will crumble on the stand under cross examination

jesus. But, good work on not talking to the police. And for everyone else, remember to say NOTHING. Not even, "no I wasn't even at 'x's house on that day".

Because, the cop could find some witness to discredit you at some point with regards to something that isn't even directly related to the allegation just to ruin your credibility. Say absolutely nothing. Even if you are 100% innocent.
Dmva100 5y ago
Charges cannot be brought against you that result in a conviction if the follow steps are taken in most States in the US.
Regardless of whatever crimes you may have allegedly committed, there cannot be any witnesses for this to work, and you must use an alias.
If and when you are questioned by any form of law enforcement, you MUST say the following when addressed, regardless of what they say to you first (statement, question, command, etc.)
Raise your hand and plead your 5th, 6th, and 4th amendment rights in that exact order. You must be able to cite each amendment word for word. After this you must STFU no matter what. Obey any LAWFUL commands made by the officer, get his name and badge number, and say that 'I am not being detained and am free to go.' Dont ask if you are. If they say that you are, know that the max time in most States is 30 mins. Make this known and get the interaction on video if you can from a body cam, recorder, or someone else's phone.
The reason you must say these amendments is because the officer will not be able to question you, or take you into custody for whatever reason. Even if they have a warrant, if you have stated these rights you dont have to identify yourself if they ask you who you are. If they demand ID say you don't have it on you, and since you have pleaded the 4th, they cannot search you or your property for ID. The only way this probably wouldn't work is if they showed up at your home address.
You cannot be charged AND/OR convicted with this method. Even if you get arrested by a beta cop because you wont cooperate, the judge WILL throw out the case once your attorney makes it known that you stated your rights and the police violated them. Warrant or not. The only variant here is that you can be federally indicted if a case is strong enough to make it to a grand jury to issue a warrant, but if it gets to that point, you didn't follow the above steps
G4RRETT 5y ago
The police are allowed to get identification from you, the 4th amendment does not protect from that. The case law is decided. If you do not identify yourself they can detain you.

This. 100%. The cops are NOT your friends, and they are not interested in discovering "the truth". That's TV land. Do not talk to them at all without an attorney present. Do NOT talk to them at your front door, do not talk to them on the phone. Do not "come down to the station to clear this all up." If they have enough to press charges they will gladly come get you, put cuffs on you and tell you that you have the right remain silent. Which you should until you speak with your attorney. Also - be aware that they can tap your home phone line (and possibly you mobile? Not sure) so don't jump on the phone, text or social and start talking to everyone you know about whatever you are under suspicion for. Also - OP should be aware that it is not legal in every state to record audio of someone without their consent. But you can have video (without audio!) in almost all states I believe. If you bring a lot of women back to your place record video of your "interactions"

It’s not like you’re getting off to it. It’s literally just documented interactions in case you get a false allegation. Why the fuck wouldn’t you protect yourself? Women carry pepper spray, dudes should carry recorders.
Sir_Distic 5y ago
Depends on jurisdiction. In my state it's 1 party consent. Meaning as long as 1 person is aware they are being recorded it's legal. So if I bring a girl home and I'm aware I'm recording then it's legal.

It has saved people from false rape accusations and fake domestic violence charges. An angry woman will have you thrown in jail fir 20 years and laugh about it. It's serious as a heart attack. Dealing with women is like juggling hand grenades.

--Edog-- 5y ago
Aren't you wonderful. I was accused of domestic violence after my girlfriend tried to stab me. Luckily I got off. Evidently restraining a woman who is attacking you with a weapon counts as "assault". Glad I'm not dead, or saddled with an assault charge.
--Edog-- 5y ago
Btw: check the actual domestic violence stats some day. In cases where only one person is being physically violent with their partner... the majority by far are women assaulting men. And no, there aren't crazy men who accuse women if hitting them or raping them - that's 100% women. Because they believe they can get away with it.

How does it show up if there is no conviction? I’m asking because I don’t really know what is on a background check.
Wade856 5y ago
Anything about you can come up in even a basic Google search of your name. A arrest and charge can show up, especially if it makes even the police blotter in a small local newspaper. Even if you are acquitted, it doesn't erase the accusation charge from the internet. I don't think anything is ever truly removed from online.
The_Sloth_Racer 5y ago
It depends where you live and depends if the arresting police department publishes their arrest logs online. In the vast majority of US states, only convictions show up on a criminal background check. The problem comes with states like Massachusetts that I live in because Mass has what's called a CORI (criminal offender record information). A CORI shows every single arrest, regardless of the outcome. People have been fighting for CORI reform here for years because it prevents people without convictions from doing a lot of things like getting jobs. Casinos are now just opening in Mass and they've been fighting for CORI reform because they STILL haven't found enough people to hire and they're opening in a few weeks. Unfortunately, I'm one of the many here in Mass that has a CORI but no convictions and it prevents me from getting many jobs or doing other things. If I had been convicted, I could apply for an expungement but because I wasn't convicted and the charges were dropped, there's nothing I can do.

This is why COPS on the TV show is a huge blue pill programming machine meant to raise arrest quotas nationwide. You will NEVER see a dude on Cops who shuts the fuck up and says he wants a lawyer.

"She was ontop the whole time"
My buddy got hit with a false rape accusation. The story itself is halarious but id need a PC amd motivation to look up the three articles.
Tldr the chick makes out with the school pariah, cries rape so she doesnt lose social status, and then they all go to court and holy fuck.
"Right around the point private pyle blew his brains out she started playing footsie with me"
And when the judge scolded the crown. "NAUGHTY NAUGHTY." (borat voice)
Defense lawyer: "Did you kiss him" (2 min silence) "No" Four witnesses stated otherwise, she lost all credability. False accusations can be funny sometimes. Spending 11 days in solitary conefinement because a woman accuses you of something, aint cool kids.
Saw the REAL victum post a fb status on the aniversiry, the fucking chick send him a kissy face emojii; and its been like 7 years.
Women are straight fucked. They will put you in jail for two years as opposed to getting in trouble and losing social status for skipping school on 420 and getting stoned.
110101010101011 5y ago
In many scenarios text messages are not valid evidence, as they can be fakes. The cell carrier does log valid messages for a few days though.
I understand that this is a little helpful when you are not needing to prove innocence, since you are innocent until proven guilty. Still, seeing it pushed in many threads, repeatedly, with no evidence it works in an actual court is questionable.
Recording consent, even where it is questionable, is really the only protection you should be using.
Pestilence1911 5y ago
Innocent until proven guilty doesnt exist.

kendallb183 5y ago
I had a great time having sex with you... now all she has to do is say she never agreed to it and she has proof you did fuck her.
mattizie 5y ago
No.
If you do that, you're admitting to sex, and all they need to prove is that it was not consensual. "I changed my mind halfway through, but he didn't stop."
If you keep shtum, they first have to prove you had sex in the first place, which is even more effort, and thus the whole thing is likely to get thrown in the "too hard" basket.
Also if you are specific, but some details are either wrong; or different than what she says and they take her word over yours, you've just discredited yourself.
Search "don't talk to cops" on YouTube, there is a great video that explains all of it.
NomBok 5y ago
I'll add to that. One big reason you don't want to be specific is in case she doesn't respond at all. And, even if she does, don't underestimate the court/jury's ability to gobble up the most absurd bullshit ever.

Doubt it, real rape victims take time to tell the authority, so it'll be hard to tell, who's lying and who's not. It'll be unjust, if they just dismiss many accusations, rape is a difficult matter. If they start dismissing the accusations I'm sure there will be protest and all that, and I can't blame them either, but either way it sucks for both sides.

Wrong, there was a kid a few years back that was set up by a bunch of girls. They basically plotted to get him on false rape charges and then boasted about it on social media. The attorney tried to get the court to allow them to subpoena the evidence, however the judge blocked it initially, it took months before the judge finally agreed, and then he was finally set free. If you really want to do that dance then go for it.

"Last night was amazing. You are really good"
The validation addicted Thotmeister will respond with some slutty "Me too. That dick is fire"
Screenshot. Save to Google Images under my email address specifically created for this shit. Stays there for years and years. Right now I have images going back to early 2013 saved. Because once these Thots grow old and look back at all the dicking they got for no commitment, the get bitter and start crying #MeToo even decades later.
Personally have come close to being accused 5 years after the dick down.. Some slut I was fucking in the early 2010s. We bumped into each other in a beach hotel where I was staying just to unwind. We had previously had sex but I ghosted her. That day we start talking, go out to the clubs, come back, she jumps on my dick and starts sucking (that girl could give head), I carry her to the bed and fuck her. She gets up, dresses and says "no one must know". A month later I discover that the slut was dating a friend of mine. A friend of mine from childhood and this is why she had said "no one must know" before leaving the hotel room. She was seriously dating this guy. They do so for a couple of years. That relationship goes to shit. The bitch thinks I told the guy that I had fucked her on her "vacation with the girls" and that is why he dumped her. She tried to spread a rumour that I had forced her into something sexual.
Other women in the community kill that rumour and advice her to shut the fuck up. Why? I still don't know but everyone around me knows that if you fuck with me, I fuck back savagely.
And yes I had saved all the messages on the folder. Including one of her saying she "orgasmed after a long time and might bootycall later." When that rumour started (I was alerted to it by her best friend), I got those images, Facecuck messages forensically retrieved from my phone and stored with a lawyer pal of mine.
ALWAYS GET PROOF. Otherwise you are going to be fucked by the criminal justice system. And if you are accused, say nothing to anyone in the absence of a lawyer. Don't counter, don't respond and don' say nuthin'.
Words can complicate things. For her to prove her false allegation of rape, she must prove that (a) you were together (b) in private (c) had sex including penetration (d) it was unconsensual.
If you say "but she consented" you relieve her of the burden to prove a, b and c. Basically you are fucked
captaindestucto 5y ago
'Affirmative consent' is going to be legislated at some point. Then recording won't suffice.
All she'll need to do is claim you didn't seek out 'affirmative consent' i.e. didn't get explicit verbal consent at key points during the act. That - regardless of what's on the recording - she felt coerced or threatened in the situation. That's what's so insidious, under the guise of protecting women it makes defendants guilty with no way to prove otherwise.
CHAD_J_THUNDERCOCK 5y ago
We already have started retroactively judging people in the past for their sexism/racism.
Soon men will be retroactively judged for sex without affirmative consent decades ago. It will be hard to speak up or argue against it on places like facebook as hoards of feminists and betas will label you rape apologist and misogynist.

I have friends that use their phone to video the girl before sex, giving consent to what's going to happen. If she says she doesn't want to do the video, then they won't have any sex with that girl. It's non negotiable. Just make a file for each sexual encounter either by the girl's name or by the date, on your phone and make sure you also upload it to the cloud as well. When you get the chance, copy the video to your computer or an external hard drive, just in case. You can never be too careful.
Guys, you carry a recording device with you at all times. It's insanity in this day & age to not take advantage of it to cover your ass just in case. Plus, just the girl knowing there is the existence of such a video, it will deter them from making a false claim later.

Your opinion is cute. It's also, frankly, stupid as fuck.
You are advocating that one "get to know someone" before having sex with them. That's fine and dandy if you could ACTUALLY tell if someone was going to destroy your life for having consensual sex and then regretting it later. How can you be absolutely fucking certain that some chick you "got to know" isn't going to accuse you of sexual assault?
The answer? YOU DON'T KNOW.
Making false statements is a crime. These women that do this are literally commiting crimes, and the only victims are men. Men lose their jobs, their livelihoods, their reputations, everything based on bullshit.
So what do you do? You cover your ass and record your encounters. You are a man, you are literally 2x likely to be convicted just because you are male. This is even worse because the "victim" is female, so you get double-dunked on the gender inequality of the court system.
Advocating that men shouldn't protect themselves. Get the fuck out of here.

Hmm, recordings aren't admissible as evidence in criminal cases unless the person was aware and consented to being recorded, as far as I'm aware. But I suppose they might be enough to prevent the case being prosecuted in the first place.
Overall, that's super fucking shitty that girl tried that.
The problem with rape laws is that, in order to give women a chance at being listened to and deter it from happening in the first place, we've had to allow women the opportunity to accuse anyone and be taken seriously. It's fucking atrocious that anyone thinks it's ok to falsely accuse someone, potentially ruining their entire life, because we all know that some people fall through the cracks of our justice system.
But... unless we can find a solution where women are taken seriously, but not to the point of falsely convicting people, I think it's better than it was before. That's not to say that some companies haven't taken it wayyy too far, like Netflix.

CoraliePeach 5y ago
Only 12 states require both parties to consent to the recording. I would guess that you're in one of the states that only requires one party (you or them) to consent to the recording. So no, it's not "absolutely false". You used an anecdotal example.

3d_truth 5y ago
But you realize that to convict a man of rape, the jury has come to a unanomous conclusion that the girl was raped beyond ANY doubt. I was the on the jury for a rape case. It's next to impossible to convict someone of rape without heavy evidence.
CoraliePeach 5y ago
Well that's good. I don't know much about what happens during an actual trial.

Depends on the state actually.
Also, even in two party states you can record in your own home. Reasonable expectation of privacy and all that.
Note: Always consult a lawyer and look into local laws to be sure.

Just noticed, I think you have that backwards. When you have a reasonable expectation of privacy, that's when it's potentially illegal to record someone without their consent or knowledge. When you're in public, then you have no expectation of privacy (no reason to believe you might not be recorded).
hulk_hogans_alt 5y ago
No no, what I meant was that if you’re own home and recording, the other party doesn’t have a reasonable expectation of privacy because an individual has the right to surveil their own home.
But again: check with a lawyer if you want to be sure
CoraliePeach 5y ago
I'm not sure about that. This is hardly sturdy evidence and I'm by no means an expert on this, but on Better Call Saul, his older brother recorded his admission of a crime (in his own home), and they all knew it couldn't be used in criminal court. They ended up trying to use it for the New Mexico Bar Association, because their standard of proof was lower.
The issue isn't just privacy, I believe it's also proving who it is on the recording.
But of course, consult a lawyer lol.
Fedor_Gavnyukov 5y ago
it wasn't admitted not because he recorded it but because self admission to crime isn't proof that person did the crime without any hard evidence
WalterEArmstrong 5y ago
".....on Better Call Saul, his older brother recorded his admission of a crime (in his own home)….." WHAAAAAAAAT?! You're using a friggen TELEVISION SHOW as an example of how the law works?!! HO-CHEE-MAMA!!
CoraliePeach 5y ago
Seriously dude, don't give yourself an aneurysm. And learn to read, rather than cherrypicking quotes that support your outrage.
CoraliePeach 5y ago
Yes, and I prefaced it with a disclaimer that it wasn't exactly trustworthy. However, it's a show about fucking lawyers. Seems like that show does a pretty good job of being accurate to the law. My main concern would be that it's set back when flipphones were all the rage, so laws could definitely have changed since then.

Of course rape happens. It’s awful that it does but no one is denying it. But false allegations happen too. Women carry pepper spray, men should carry recorders, consent apps etc.
It’s literally just self defense.
CoraliePeach 5y ago
And I'm not arguing with you lol it is atrocious that some people think it's ok to make serious false accusations just because they feel bad about it.
I completely agree with you. In fact, I think a good way to go about it if you have the opportunity is to get the person to explicitly agree to it over text, especially if you're going to be doing anything kinky/violent. That is, if you don't just have a contract written up, but that seems clunky. I don't know What the laws are on text messages being taken as proof in criminal cases, but I know they're helpful in restraining order cases, in the district court, rather than superior.
hulk_hogans_alt 5y ago
There are consent apps and shit. Also not a bad idea.
CoraliePeach 5y ago
Oh you mean an actual like smartphone app? I had no idea such a thing existed. That is kinda cool.

They exist, they ain't perfect, nothing is. Protect yourself as much as possible.
CoraliePeach 5y ago
Maybe that says something about how much women value their ability to accuse men of rape, falsely or otherwise lol. You're absolutely right that men should protect themselves in this climate that very much favors women. It's much worse in universities, because those places are like their own little kingdoms.
Definitely a pro for you guys.
hulk_hogans_alt 5y ago
Yeah. But honestly the way I see it, it's good for both parties.
Firstly, someone should have consent no matter what, I think that goes without saying. All this does is verify it. It's almost like a digital security certificate or a HASH key only in real life. SSL vs open browsing. What it does is create a culture of trust and consent that will work well for everyone in the long run. Hopefully eventually we can get past this nonsense.
What's going on right now isn't healthy. It's either men are rapists or women are lying whores. No one is comfortable with this but as you said guys do have to protect themselves in someway.

Personally, I only have experience being molested by my dad, and a couple times that boyfriends had sex with me when I was very obviously not wanting to, but felt too worthless to tell them to stop. Those feelings are because of what my dad did. I know that when a child is sexually abused, it's much worse than for an adult, due to their very tender and still developing brain and psyche. Everything gets absolutely fucked up, irreparably in many ways.
As for traditional violent rape, I found someone else's description that might help explain it.
Imagine your favourite dessert. You know, the one you almost always end up ordering at a restaurant even though you’ve had it heaps of times before. That one dessert of which you always want second or even third servings. The one you ask friends and family to make for your birthday.
Really imagine it. The taste of it. The feel of it on your lips and tongue and sliding down your throat. The lingering aftertaste. How much you’ll enjoy it the next time you have a chance to eat some.
Imagine the surroundings. Are you alone, savouring it all to yourself? Are you with friends, all enjoying sharing this delectable dessert? Are you in a lovely cafe or restaurant, enjoying the ambience and the service, and the accompanying coffee or liqueur?
Imagine how many servings you are going to have this time. Will you eat it fast or slow? Will you eat it all, or take some home with you for later?
NOW imagine someone forcing you to eat your favourite dessert.
It’s not a joke. You can’t get away. They are too strong for you, and they are kneeling across your chest and pinning your arms. Maybe they have threatened you with a weapon to get you to this place, or perhaps tricked you with an offer of your favourite dessert and then overpowered you once they got you alone.
Imagine that they are not just offering you your favourite dessert in any way that you can control how you bite it, chew it and swallow it. This person is shoving your favourite dessert down your throat. With a stick.
Imagine that your favourite dessert down is being shoved down your throat so hard and fast that you are choking on it, and you can’t take in quite enough air in between mouthfuls. You are going dizzy from lack of oxygen, yet you’re afraid to gulp air too deeply in case dessert gets into your lungs.
Imagine how the stick is bruising, scraping and lacerating your throat as more and more of your favourite dessert is being shoved down your throat.
Imagine how the taste of blood from the lacerations in your throat is mingling with the taste of your favourite dessert.
Imagine how your teeth are being chipped and broken by the stick, and how they are mingling with the dessert so that you are swallowing them as well.
Imagine how your lips are being split and bruised by the stick as the dessert continues to get shoved in your mouth.
Imagine how you are squirming to try and avoid the next mouthful, how you are crying, how great streams of snot are streaming down your cheeks, how your eyes are begging for the person to stop but the person just won’t stop.
Worse: imagine that you are so frightened that the person will kill you that you just lie there, unresisting, unmoving, trying hard not to really be there in your body because then the stick shoving dessert down your throat doesn’t hurt quite so badly.
Imagine how in either of the above – squirming fear or immobile shock – you are totally aware that your lack of power to stop the person, and your terror and pain, is what they want from you most. The dessert is irrelevant except for being a way to hurt you and degrade you through your powerlessness.
Imagine that you survive the forced-feeding, and that as your attacker leaves you, either in the place of attack or having dropped you off somewhere to make your own way home, that they mock you by talking about how wonderful your favourite dessert tasted, and how lucky you were that they gave you more of it than you’d ever had before.
And now for the kicker:
Imagine that when you tell people what happened, and how bad it was, and how scared you were and how hurt your body is, they look at you blankly, and say: “But what’s the problem? Everybody knows that you really, really like that dessert!”
Think about how long it might take for you, or whether you would ever want, to eat your favourite dessert again, because every time you saw it, let alone smelt it or tasted it, you would remember that attack by the force-feeder.
Then stop repeating or believing bullshit about how rape is really just rougher than usual sex, things just “get a bit out of hand” and no real harm done.

Sorry, I couldn't get through it. Too cringe.
I got the gist of it though. Why is rape the only crime where the accused is ousted and assumed guilty first? How is it different than other violent crimes?
Cuz feels. You wrote a novel about your damn feels. No.... just no. What rape victims go through is horrendous but that doesn't justify how the accused is socially crucified before due process. Innocent until proven guilty, "except for rape cuz it ruined my favorite dessert." GTFO. The world doesn't revolve around you, snowflake.
CoraliePeach 5y ago
I didnt write that. And it's not a perfect analogy. In order for you to understand what rape is like for a woman, you'd have to make a real effort to understand what it's like to be a woman, sexually. One thing that makes rape especially worse is society's history of making "slutty" women out to be dirty in some way. This causes a lot more psychological problems in victims.
However, I think what you're asking is not what makes rape so much worse for the victim, but why people feel the need to be so much shittier to the accused.
I think that it's mostly due to our current political and sociological climate in western society, which is pretty heavily in favor of women, at least in blue states. It's not right that people accused of rape are vilified without due process. However, when the justice system or just the government fails us, we rely on public outcry. The best example that comes to mind is the Stanford rapist. He was found guilty, but only sentenced to like 30 days probation (if I remember correctly). That was an outrage. And he probably got away with that slap on the wrist because his dad is rich. Classism is the true prejudice in our society, not race or gender.
I have a feeling you might also be referring to all the sexual assault allegations crawling out of the woodworks, especially for public figures. I think that's been a good thing, but also taken too far. It's fucking awesome that rich, old, white (or black, in the case of Bill Cosby) assholes are no longer allowed to do whatever the fuck they want. It's great that these women feel safe enough, that they will be taken seriously enough to come forward with this stuff. However, like you said, we must have due process. It's too easy for someone to ruin a man's life with a false accusation, and by that I mean ruin their career and reputation.
On the other hand, how can we keep these assholes in check without taking the women seriously? There are tons of instances where there's no possibility of proof. There's no way those men are going to jail for most of this stuff. So, in order to deter them from thinking they're invincible, we must have the consequence of possibly losing their career and reputation.
Here's some food for thought: why would you guys stand up for men like that? You don't need to grope women, or drug them, or say nasty shit, or rape them. Your whole philosophy is about attracting women to you in a way that they would beg you to fuck them, whenever and however you please. People like that make you look bad.
We are in a shitty situation, politically and culturally. If we go back to how things were, rapists and the like become near invincible again, and women return to keeping silent about it even more than they do now. But if we stay how we are now, it's too easy to make false accusations. I don't know what the solution is, but I think what we have now is still marginally better than how it was.

Why? Unless youre referring to the part about my dad, I didn't write that, I borrowed it from somewhere else on Reddit, and that person borrowed it from a website. And it's a mediocre analogy anyway. Favorite dessert doesn't even come close to describing what's being taken away during rape.
Personally, thanks to my dad, I don't hold much value in my sexuality. It's not really something precious to me anymore. Maybe if I were violently raped, I would recover more easily because of that (lucky me).
CoraliePeach 5y ago
Also, why would the members here care about that? They're not rapists, and they don't defend rapists, generally. Rapists make them look bad.
Thaweed 5y ago
so what your saying is, your favourit dessert is dick?
CoraliePeach 5y ago
I didn't write that. I wrote about my dad molesting me. Personally, I don't think dessert is a very good analogy. I don't think a lot of you members here are even capable of the level of empathy required to understand what rape is like for a woman. Dessert doesn't even come close.

As I already have told you,a big part of TRP is consisted of ex-niceguys,MGTOWs,men that aint getting any pussy at all. TRP is generally a men's rights movement and just like feminists forget that men are also human beings with feelings,hopes,dreams,loved ones so do TRPers some times for women. Some women won't have a problem to get innocent men in jail for 'rape' and 'assault' and some men won't have a problem that many true rape victims won't get any justice if that would decrease their chances of being labelled falsely as a rapist. There is no middle ground for many people both in feminism and in the manosphere

It's ridiculous that it has gotten to this point. Not insulting this post because it's a great one, but it's just crazy that before and after every sexual encounter you have, your guard really has to be up this much.
I never went to this extent. Usually just a "I had a great time" text is fine. I never bothered with a voice recorder.

How do you use the voice recorder? Like do you have it turned on where she says she wants sex? Also isn't it illegal to record conversations?
_Sedation_ 5y ago
I personally don't care if it's illegal or not, atleast I'd have proof I didn't rape. But another guy commented earlier saying screenshot covos instead, which is good advice.

I've been recording for almost a decade. saving all texts, pics, emails etc. haven't had to use it yet and hopefully never will, but it sure as shit helps. some of my friends were hit with bullshit back in the day that's when i decided to cover my ass. especially with me making decent bank now it's even more important.
Andgelyo 5y ago
This. Never found myself in any trouble at all, and hope I never will. But i always save texts, naughty pictures I get, and tell them I had a great time over text just so I can CYA if need be. Screen shotting Tinder conversations helps a bunch too. Sad world we live to see that we've come to this.

This happens more often than not. Never ever under any circumstances talk to the police they don't work for you. Although the whole revenge porn movement has tried to make recording sex illegal do it anyway just to cover your ass. First she willing lets you bang her brains out next day you raped her. False rape accusations happen more often than the real ones just from personal experience.
bmallon42 5y ago
I had a family member in law enforcement that went out with a girl that was a lesbian, maybe bi, they ended up hooking up, the girl's gf found out, lesbian friend claims she was drunk and dont remember anything, the gf says well then he raped you. In order to save face with her gf, the girl claims she was raped. My family member gets investigated on the allegations and thinking hes a cop and knowing it wasnt rape, he cooperates with investigators. It wasnt until he got indicted by a grand jury and was facing felony rape charges did he get an attorney. Attorney and a private investigator get the girl's deposition where she claims being completely blacked out from the time they left the bar til she woke up the next day. Attorney and PI go get CCTV footage from the gas station they stopped at before going back to her place and shes walking completely fine, grab a a drink and cigarettes and pays with cash. That footage and all the holes in the plaintiffs story caused enough doubt to have the jury acquit my family member on all charges. Of course nothing happened to her for lying but it certainly ruined his career in law enforcement.

All these could have been avoided if he remained silent in the first place. Not very smart to go mouthing off, especially being a cop himself

This is convenient thinking only. Have you read anything involving TRP? Women make choices based upon how they feel about something and then rationalize it until they believe it.
You don't know crazy until it's too late sometimes. This is something you can do to keep you safe 100% of the time. Why wouldn't you do it?
