Read what I write below very carefully.
"Anything you say can and will be used against you."
This means that anything you say is not taken as fact in evidence UNLESS what you say constitutes an admission to be used against you in court.
For example, if you said 3 things:
1. Bill Gates owes me $1 million.
2. I invented the Internet.
3. I committed crime X.
Statements 1 and 2 will be disregarded while statement 3 will be used to convict you of crime X.
If you have never been to court before in your life, the best thing you can do for yourself is SHUT THE HELL UP. Stop posting useless junk that can hurt you later down the road.
And when your online posts are entered into evidence, the entire forum could potentially be probed by law enforcement and prosecutors, which means anything potentially shady that goes on here will be open to scrutiny.
It's not just about you and your need to vent. What you do affects everyone and everything posted on here. If you want to talk trash go to a private forum, or get counseling. The public forum is not the appropriate source for this type of posting.
I know there are a few members with legal background as well so please chime in.
