It is not about being stupid. It was them planting the fear in you! Because generally, normal human will freak out when it comes to involvement of police and court! And the fear mongering by the public over unfairness of the court process whenever the verdict is not in favour of them. Giving the idea, oh you are nobody, you are screwed.

My granduncle who is always alert/smart about anything to do with money nearly got scammed during COVID19 time. He was lucky, I was there to stop him (because he was acting suspicious/unusual, my granduncle who is a very old school person, refused to use a handphone and out of sudden asking me how much does a handphone cost! ans he pushed me away when someone called his homeline). Well thanks to LYN for kept on posting about the modus operandi. My granduncle really takut I tell ya!

They planted fear in you because most people do not know the police process or even court process. Yes you can get caught something you have never done, but if you have proof, why scared? Police can just confiscate your phone and found nothing linking you to the criminal activity. They have forensic unit to do that.

The only thing you can tell yourself from now on is, if you have never done anything wrong, what is the need to be scared? That should safe you from being manipulated in the future.
