It's measures like that, that protected me when my ex fiance accused me of raping her with no evidence at all.If I claimed it was always 2% I am sorry because it depends on the country, however don't you agree that it's wrong to think that the rule is to be false?
I can understand your situation, and yes it sucks - I am terribly sorry - However, imagine that you were the one being raped and when you tried to press charges everyone doubted of you. Would you feel ok with that? I'm not saying we shouldn't demand proof, I am saying that we shouldn't assume it's false - Some of what I've seen is reasonable, like demanding DNA proof etc, however I don't see why two interrogations is necessary when one would be enough, and I think cops shouldn't ask questions like "what you were wearing?".
I think your situation sucks, for real, but do you think it's safe to assume rape victims are lying because of your case?
I am not saying you doubt victims, but some people including cops assume most rapes are automatically false and deceiving lies - And this is harmful because it stops justice from working.
The reason people assume it is false and treat it with skepticism is because it's the easiest crime to trump up charges. Literally all you have to do if you woman is go to a bar, find a willing guy and have sex with him. That is it, so given that I would say that the current system is at least working to keep innocent people out of jail. Unfortunately because of the nature of rape as a crime it is very difficult to prosecute of you care about keeping innocents out of prison because it often become he said she said.
So instead of making it easier for innocent men to land in jail, why don't we come up with more constructive solutions? Such as support groups for women who want to persecute?
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
