> Now, we wonder, can you take anything Radley Balko writes or says seriously, when he lies about his own resume? Wonder if his employers know about this?

In New Zealand, lying on you resume is an offense that can put you in gaol, as the hapless John Davy found out when he told amazing fibs on his resume so that he could run Maori Television.

Notably he claimed a degree from "Denver State University" which, of course, does not exist.

I'd be surprised if US Courts couldn't similarly gaol somebody for telling similar lies on their resumes. It is fraud, pure and simple.

US courts don't do that. Worst penalty is you get fired.

May be some exceptions when it comes to classified jobs with the government, or misrepresenting yourself to get into a Military Service academy (I've heard of folks getting kicked out and finding themselves owing the US government some money).

However, after 56,009 posts on FreeRepublic, it seems to me most of these "columnists" in the hard-copy press are elementally inadequate.
