Now admittedly if you're
1/ EMPLOYED BY A REPUTABLE COMPANY
2/ MARRIED
3/ HAVE KIDS
then the police are likely to leave you alone and not rig anything in court, and a sentence is unlikely for most trivial stuff.
But if you're between jobs, staying with relatives, single, and a COMPANY CEO CHARGES YOU - THE POLICE WILL TAKE YOU DOWN!
AND THE POLICE CAN TAKE YOU DOWN BEHIND CLOSED DOORS MUCH MUCH EASIER.
So don't miss your chance to get it all on record.
Because as soon as you're behind bars on remand waiting for trial, you're as good as guilty.

Dude you are out of your mind. First off if you are arrested in the Miranda they read you it says that you have the right to remain silent. Even if you are not arrested, just asked to come in and talk you still have that right and the second you invoke it any cop worth his salt will stop talking to you because if they force something out of you after you tell them you wish to invoke your right to remain silent there is a decent chance it will get tossed and once the defense starts picking that apart they don't stop.
Also, it doesn't matter if you are married, have kids, a job whatever. If you are accused of a crime and there is enough evidence that they feel they could convict you, they will no matter what your family/work situation is. Just watch a few episodes of cops. Every episode they drag people to jail in front of their families.
If a company claims you did something illegal to them and they choose to press charges, you are going to have to deal with it. It is no different than if anyone pressed charges against you for something.
Most arrests that end in conviction do so because the person decided to talk to the police, realized they were caught and cut a deal so that they could plea to lesser charges. If you really didn't do anything, you kept quiet and said nothing 100% of the burden is on them. They will have to convince a jury that you are guilty and you will get your chance to explain to that jury exactly what happened.
You sound like someone who got busted for something, said the wrong thing and now are trying to blame it on the system.
