I ' m terribly sorry this happened to you . The law is cold and dispassionate . Probable cause , in essence , is evidence sufficient to convince a reasonable person that it ' s more likely than not that the susupect committed the crime in question . That ' s what ' s needed so that the police MAY make an arrest . There is no burden of proof for when the police MUST make an arrest . That ' s because they are nearly never required to do that . They don ' t have to arrest as soon as they have the minimum they don ' t ever have to arrest at all in most cases . As stated above , if they don ' t move forward with the case , your option is a civil suit . <| sep |> He ' s not even in office and he ' s just ceded the world power to China and the EU .
