Hi,
So on christmas day I was arrested for drunk driving. It began with a domestic dispute against my mum and her boyfriend and he threw ceramic dishes and silverware across the room and then began to argue with everyone. He then threatened me and i was emotional and distressed. The police were called and he was shut outside with a police officer whilst another officer spoke to us inside to gather information about what happened. After explaining my part, i was in fear and scared about still being at that house when he could come home in the morning after he sobered up. So i felt sober enough to drive and got in my car, reversed 10 feet onto the cul de sac road and then felt stupid for leaving my family and trying to drive when i had alcohol that night, so i turned my wheel towards the drive in aim to pull up and park but was stopped by the police officer outside of the house before i could do this. I told her i was pulling onto the drive and she said as i drove on the main road i can still be arrested. I was compliant because i know it was my mistake for getting into the car despite the chaos that happened that night. With the papers they gave me regarding my charge and that i was let out on bail, they made an error and wrote down a completely wrong address despite me telling them my home address and the officer also checked my driving license which has my home address on it too. Is this a big enough error to question the efficiency and reliability of their procedures? Any information would be useful just so i can prepare for the worst. Thanks.
