"Obviously getting caught comitting perjury isn't something that is condoned by the FOP or anybody in the Police Department," Camden said. "These are allegations, and an investigation is taking place. We will make sure our officers are fully trained to avoid getting caught in the future." Fixed. The first rule of testilying is don't get caught testilying. Cameras will no longer be permitted. Problem solved. |

The only thing which is unusual about this case is that the defendant was able to prove that the government agents lied.

Here is another recent case involving multiple officers caught lying under oath.
LAPD officer gets community service, probation for lying under oath April 9, 2014 A Los Angeles police officer convicted of perjury and conspiracy after lying about the details of an arrest in court was sentenced Wednesday to community labor and three years' formal probation. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge George G. Lomeli ordered Manuel Bernardo Ortiz to perform 900 hours of California Department of Transportation work or graffiti removal. Ortiz, 40, was charged in 2009 along with two fellow officers of lying under oath during a criminal trial about the details of an arrest in Hollywood. View Quote Former officers Evan Samuel and Richard Amio were convicted of multiple counts of perjury for testifying falsely during different court proceedings.

What's new? This happens all the time I'm sure. I was in court for a traffic ticket and there was a guy that I knew that had been busted for underage drinking at a party and I had been there when it went down. When the officer took the stand it was obvious that he must have been at a different party because his testimony was completely different than what had actually happened. He had twisted the facts to make the guy look worse than he was. That moment was when I realized that trusting every cop might not be a wise idea.

Normal police operating procedure.
The officers just happened to get caught. Don't worry though, they will be back on the street violating peoples rights in short order. |

All five are veteran officers. Glenview Officer Jim Horn declined to comment Monday, while the other four — Sgt. James Padar and Officers Vince Morgan and William Pruente, all assigned to narcotics for Chicago police, and Glenview Sgt. Theresa Urbanowski — could not be reached for comment. "Police officers are just like anybody — just because they're wearing a badge and carrying a gun does not give them more credibility," said Cook County Public Defender Abishi Cunningham Jr., a former Chicago prosecutor, defense attorney and judge. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2014-04-15/news/ct-police-testimony-lies-met-20140415_1_police-officers-five-officers-chicago-police Side note: I don't want anyone to think that these posts about corruption are meant to impugn the character of any of the LEO that post here, that is not my intention, honestly. There are always rotten apples in any profession. Obviously, and honestly the public needs to be as vigilant as they can to counter corruption. However, two points; 1) always pointing out corruption leads the public to see corruption everywhere, even where it may or may not exist. 2) not pointing out corruption leads to more favorable atmosphere for more corruption. If the public at large will not take a stand and hold our elected officials accountable for their corruption, who is really to blame? We get what we allow. |

That judge is not a highly trained and experienced police officer, how can she judge the reasonableness of their actions?
Is there video anywhere? I would love to see the the look on their collective faces. |

So obviously they've overturned every conviction and released every prisoner convicted on the basis of testimony from each of these lying pieces of dog shit, right?
They've refunded every fine imposed on the basis of those "officers" reports too. Right? |

Somebody will defend that shit. Sickens me. You're overly optimistic. Half a dozen will defend it. Nobody has and nobody will. It's sad how you guys get going in a circle jerk in these threads and when no one provides what you expect should be the "typical" JBT response, you make the "typical" response yourselves and then pile on. There are even a couple of people in here who aren't smart enough to figure out when someone is being sarcastic and then start yelling at the faux JBT. |

Somebody will defend that shit. Sickens me. View Quote Nah, it's easy to say "screw those guys" when the proof is presented at the outset. Here's the more interesting question: How many LE would automatically believe them if there was no video? Just a defendant saying " those guys are lying" and his word against theirs. And how many, after reading about this event, will still automatically believe LE the next time unless there's definitive proof to the contrary? Judging from what I've read here, it's still easily over 90%. And no number of cops lying to cover their ass will change it. |

View Quote Which is why you never fuck around when it's your life on the line, and you never hire the public defender unless it's your absolutely last choice. If I were ever accused of something serious, I'd sell a kidney to hire a good attorney before I'd let the public defender work my case. Attorneys are like septic tank pumpers. When you don't need one, you don't even want to know they exist, but when you do need one, you want the best one you can afford. Flightless or not. |

Here is one from the LAPD.
Lying officer with 3 substantiated commission misconduct issues is kept on force due to Nepotism. LAPD Chief Charlie Beck defends decision not to fire officer for lying Police Chief Charlie Beck has defended his decision to overrule a disciplinary board’s recommendation to fire a police officer with close family ties to the department, denying favoritism played a role in his determination.
A Los Angeles Police Department disciplinary board found that Officer Shaun Hillman should be terminated for lack of integrity, stemming from an investigation into an off-duty incident at a Riverside County bar. Hillman was caught on tape using a racial slur during a late-night altercation in Norco but later denied it to LAPD investigators. The board advised that he be fired for lying in the investigation, not for the fight itself. Beck overruled the board’s decision, something he has done just twice in his term as the city’s top cop, and handed down a 65-day suspension instead.

War on Drugz!!? Yay!!!
I wonder how many innocent people sit in prison because of shit-bags like that? I'm guessing it's quite a number. |

It was made very clear to me when I was a recruit that the last thing I would do as a police officer was lie. Get caught in a lie and your credibility is gone, you can no longer give court room testimony, and your career is over.
I've seen it happen to one of my co-workers. Lied about something stupid in an internal investigation and instead of getting perhaps a day or two off he was fired. |
