Hello? That is utter crap from the cop. Testimony is testimony. Witnesses are going to swear in court, so when they come forward is irrelevant. How often do you hear the cops make pleas on TV for witnesses to a certain crime to come forward?
Make a complaint about this cop. Offer to be nice and drop it if they start taking this stuff seriously.
