Sworn Statement Affidavit: Fill & Download for Free

This is no laughing matter. What you are proposing could end life as we know it.#1 Police Officers are sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution.#2 When a police officer makes an arrest, the government requires him to complete a sworn affidavit, admissible in court, alleging the crime committed and the person who committed it.#3 The 5th amendment to the US Constitution prohibits the federal government from compelling a person to be a witness against himself, and the 14th amendment causes that prohibition to be applied to state and local governments.For a police officer to arrest himself, he would be compelled by his state government to complete a sworn statement as a witness against himself, but at the same time he would be prevented from complying with such a requirement by the 5th amendment and his oath to uphold the Constitution. Attempting to carry through such an ill-advised plan would, at best, spark an instant Constitutional crisis, possibly contributing to the downfall of the USA, a collapse of the world economy, and the end of modern civilization on Earth. At worst, his attempt to arrest himself would create a paradox, destroying the logical space-time continuum and forcing an embarrassed Universe to retreat back into the point of singularity from which it originally sprung in an effort to hide its shame.

An affidavit is a written, and sworn statement. Testimony is what takes place in court or in a related proceeding, when a witness is sworn in and answers questions.Wikipedia has a good explanation of an affidavit. Affidavit

Caveat: I am not a lawyer, and I am answering this only because there are not yet any answers.An affidavit is a sworn statement. It carries the same weight as a statement made in court under oath.Now, not just anything that anyone says in a courtroom counts as evidence. In the case of the US election, the affidavits seem to be mostly of the kind “I heard X say that he had been instructed to cheat”. This is called hearsay, and is normally not admitted as evidence. None are of the kind “Y instructed me to cheat”, which could be admitted as evidence, depending on what exactly it says—for instance, many of them are obviously based on a complete lack of understanding of how the election and vote counting actually works and simply describe the normal, legal process. (The famous “3,000 not Nevada residents” are of this kind; they are soldiers stationed abroad and they are legally allowed to vote, so the affidavit is meaningless.)And many of the affidavits seem to be so spurious that they haven’t even been shown to the courts. They appear to be of the kind “It stands to reason”, and any attorney trying to present them as evidence will be reprimanded, at best, and disbarred at worst.And of course, the “sworn statement” bit goes both ways. This is why the question is poorly phrased: you don’t mean that Trump himself has signed the affidavits, because if he swears that he has witnessed something in Michigan or Pennsylvania when he was demonstrably not in the state, this is what is known as perjury, and can have very dire consequences. You mean that he has signed affidavits, that is, affidavits that have been signed by the person making the claim.
