Can the police charge you?

oh kate!

I don't know, I think a judge would find a charge like that hard to swallow. The charge is a formality. Usually you get off with just a spank & the whole thing blows over in no time.

It all depends on how large your goods have swollen to. you should get a doctor to have a look at them.

UncleRico

If they tried to charge you with "swollen goods" they'd have to release you because of "insufficient" evidence.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

BloominEck

Yes, they can in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Oklahoma, Oregon, Rhode Island, Utah, Virginia and Washington D.C.

The land of the free, as long as you're not an oral afficionado.

Oh you've neen flashing with a stiffy again haven't you, naughty Pob.

Dawny

they should be able to prosecute you for distributing unsuitable jokes!

longliveNusruAllah

Swollen goods? not very swollen goods. Yes, they can arrest us on the ground of suspicion. IT is the Judge who does the charging not the police.

Oh, the old ones are the best...NOT!

Looney

You could at worst get charged for aiding and a betting...

If its a one off, then you will probably be told to wise up and let off the hook.

sassywv

Yes you can be charged but if you prove you did not know they were stollen the charges can be dropped.

klo

Depends on who gave you the swollen goods, were you intending to pass on your swollen goods?

enigma_variation

no but the CPS could if it becomes a crime (depends on age of person receving ;-)

Jan G

Maybe the swollen goods were over the Legal Limit?

evecfc1888

if you mean stolen goods definitely you will get charged with reset just as bad as if you had stole the things yourself good luck

JenV

I think it depends on whether any payment was exchanged for these "swollen goods."

Only if they are very jealous

xqzme

These days they will try to "charge" you for ANYTHING, got to make that ticket quota ya know!
Did you see in the news where in Stow, Ohio they are charging folks for filing paperwork, use of officers time AND use of the car when an officer shows up at the scene of an accident! ?
Best keep it under cover <wink>

WhatAmI?

"Swollen" goods? Did somebody punch them up till they were bruised and sore, and swollen?

Receiving stolen goods? Yes, of course!

If some punk friend gives his buddy a box full of I Pods and the recipient doesn't ask where they came from and the police find the recipient with them.....well he's in possession of stolen goods!

And of course BOTH guys are in trouble. Big trouble.

And if the recipient pleads ignorance, that plea of ignorance is usually quite laughable in a court of law.
