Despite having several trustworthy LEOs in the family, I don’t trust LEOs in general.
Even if they are honest, you can never tell if they are being ordered to lie, or misled or whatever. When I was younger, if I’d been told that I needed to say XYZ as a matter of national security, I would have gone along with it. I would have assumed that the person giving me orders knew something I didn’t and being patriotic, I would not have wanted to jeopardize national security. So how many LEOs might fall into a similar category?

I've known plenty of cops, and spent plenty of time with them. By and large good people, sometime zealots, but eh, we all are on certain things. My point on the trust angle is that the dishonest part is protected. The criminal justice institution should be viewed as dishonest. It does not cleanse itself.
