Is it normal that i'm terrified of being falsely accused?

I'm terrified of the police, TSA agents and other authorities. I'm so scared of being falsely accused of something horrible that I didn't do, but nobody believing me and having myself and my family and friends put through a media circus and a trial. I love flying but I hate going through security. Recently a disabled woman was beaten bloody because she got confused going through customs and tried to escape. One wrong move and that happened. I'm scared of it happening to me even though I don't break laws or do anything wrong. I don't have much to do with children at all because I'm afraid of somebody falsely accusing me of hurting them. I would never ever mess with kids like that! I worry about corrupt police persecuting me and planting evidence in my home and them arresting me and beating me, and much worse.

    Holy Hell! Your experience is so like mine that for a moment I thought I created this poll!! I live in fear too. I don't know about what's the reason for yours but I have spent a lot of time introspecting and I think the root cause of mine lies in my childhood. Growing up my father was not at all supportive. He was always angry and mistrusting. Now, as an adult, I have these fears and insecurities. In addition the the ones you have listed I am also afraid of women, that they might accuse me of rape or sexual harassment. I have lived in fear my entire life!

      I'm glad I'm not the only one, that's a comfort at least. I hear so much about innocent people being accused, convicted and jailed for crimes they didn't commit, and I worry that it will happen to me. My fear is not crippling, but I do take great pains to make sure I'm not in situations where I could be accused.

    That's a terrible way to live: you may well have clinical paranoia and I suggest you seek some professional help

    Well, I myself am disabled, and when I get in a scenario like that, I ask for clarification from the officer, who has a hard enough job feeling a ton of guys up all day checking them for things they may be hiding behind their balls...

    I feel like anybody that worries this much did something and didn't get caught and now is consumed by guilt...

      Or he's scared he'll become one of the estimated thousands of people a year who are wrongly convicted in the US. We have a track record of innocent people who served nearly their entire lives in prison, who were later proven innocent by the advent of dna evidence. Look it up. It's fucked.

        I'm well aware of wrongfully convicted people in the country, my dad was a journalist and reported on several such stories just in my area.

      You are entitled to your opinion but you're wrong. If you didn't get caught about something, you would be afraid specifically of being caught of that thing.

      The cause of these fears goes much deeper than that. For some of us, it lies in our childhood because we didn't have supportive parents.
