• Wrongfully arrested and taken to jail. What can I do?

  Asked in Fresno, CA

  I was in a domestic violence situation with my ex-boyfriend, and I was told that after 5 days I needed to go to the courthouse to extend it if I wanted it to proceed 6 months later. I was in the store with my ex-boyfriend, and the police officer observed us. He immediately stabbed him to the ground as he was walking out and started punching him in his face, and my ex-boyfriend was crying, and his face was bleeding. I told the police officer that there was no need for so much violence, and he wouldn't listen. I felt scared and felt like nobody was going to listen. I was begging for him to stop hitting him, practically telling him I thought he was here to protect the community and this is how you treat them. He said stand the f*** back. I did, then I was arrested. As I was being arrested, the police officer that was arresting him and punching him told me I did this for you, this is happening for you, and this is how you treat me, and I told him thank you but no thank you. I went to jail. Wasn't accepted because my high blood pressure, which I never had, went up, and it wouldn't go down. I went to the hospital and came back, and it went from a misdemeanor to a felony.

• My ex posted and shared in a Tiktok LIVE my intimate and nude vids and photos. I don't have screen shots. Help?

  Asked in Whittier, CA

  I do not have pics of it because she has me blocked, but I keep hearing people talking about such crystal-clear details that the only way to know that is to have seen it. They have also described my room, what it looks like, and my tattoos. I tried going to the sheriff, but they said if there are no pics, they can't start a case. She did it again a week later, and I am still blocked, so I can't get the evidence. I have opened a ticket with Tiktok to check lives on those dates and certain times, but I feel so lost and defeated, like I'm hitting a wall and a dead end at every turn. What can I do? PLEASE help
