• Can my friends get in trouble for something they didn't do?

I was in town a couple of days ago with 2 of my friends. Suddenly a guy comes running out of an apartment building in underwear, screaming like a psychopath. He took a huge stick from the ground and smashed it into the wall, telling us to stay the fuck where we were. I had run away, because that seemed pretty logical to me, but my friends just stayed there. After a few minutes the police came, and they talked to them for about 40 minutes. Apperantly somebody had broken a small window in the building. Afterwards I talked to them, and they told me that they would get a fine and a note on their criminal record if they don't tell the police who did it. How the fuck is this logical? Is the police trying to scare them or can they actually mess with their criminal record for something they didn't do?
They're probably accessories to a crime, did the screaming psychopath guy do anything else that you know of?
Wrong place, wrong time
Arn't you innocent untill proven guilty? Or is it the other way around in America?

The police are just trying to scare them As for the legality of it, if the police actually wanted to, they could attempt to do this, however I think somewhere along the way the paperwork would be shutdown by a Superior officer. If not any competent lawyer could get it dismissed. But I reiterate, the police are just trying to scare them into telling, they're not gonna do jack shit. Cops lie all the time.

[QUOTE=Oblivion470;24875628]I live in Denmark.[/QUOTE] Oh I don't know how the laws work there. So uh. yeah maybe. who the fuck knows. I've heard some countries have "Guilty until proven innocent" systems, though I've never looked into it.
Why didn't they tell them who did it? Description on the suspect would've been enough.
I am pretty sure that's not how it works. Everyone tells me that the police are just trying to scare them, I hope that's true.
