And of course police officers never lie.
I knew a few who did, I did not. Most do not as opposed to those we stopped who always had an excuse or lie thought up.
Of course they do. It happens so often that cops even have a name for it, "testilying".
Testilying is police slang for the practice of giving false testimony against a defendant in a criminal trial, typically for the purpose of "making a stronger case" against someone they believe to be guilty, although it may also be for the purpose of framing an innocent defendant.
I wonder which week of the police academy they teach that little trick?
