Pay attention to Extorris and you will see he isn't proud of his time with NYPD except for the retirement that he got for it. Yep. Over the last few years, he has opened my eyes a little. Not everywhere is NYC but if what happens in liberal criminal loving NYC happens, what happens elsewhere? Everything you've ever seen in NYC happens other places too. It's just not quite as concentrated elsewhere. Last I checked no one has made a magic cop mood and temperment detector yet. |

Yeah, it's nice that the cops here claim not to automatically trust other cops, but judges do, and that's sorta what matters.

All I'm saying is, as a judge, who knows the officer has been through SOME type of background check and mostly deals with actual criminals as defendants, I can see why they would, sight unseen, side with the officer without other variables. |

And his word is trusted than the person's he pulled over. Point proven. Devilpig has a point, cops tend to be more trustworthy people because of the strict hiring process. This is true in my area, at least, because when it is done properly it weeds out lots of people. My department tends to get good applicants compared to many departments because we have one of the highest pay rates in the state and a good reputation as a department, so t hat is certainly part of it here too. Another thing to consider is that a guy who is in court because he was ticketed has a vested interest in his side of the story while the cop doesn't get anything for writing him a ticket. The cop has no reason to lie, he's just there because he's doing his job. I've seen many defendants lie in court. I knew they were because I was at the incident and knew exactly what happened. I've yet to ever see a cop lie in court and only know of one at my department that ever lied in an internal investigation. He was fired for it. I have never seen a defendant punished for telling lies in court, they just get convicted of their charges. There is little incentive not to lie for them. To illustrate it another way, if there is a fight between A and B and A's witness is his girlfriend saying B started it (she has a vested interest in her boyfriend not going to jail) and B's witness is a random passerby that doesn't know either party saying A started it (this witness has no vested interest in the outcome) I'll usually believe B and B's witness. The same principle applies in court where a defendant has very strong motivations to lie where the cop doesn't. It isn't like my pay increases with arrests and/or convictions. In fact, my department (and many others from what I hear) tend to punish the guys out doing proactive work because it tends to generate more work and complaints. Basically a defendant has every reason to lie with no consequences for it while I have no reason to lie and severe consequences if I do. I think that is a pretty strong indicator of who is more likely to lie. Does it mean cops never lie in court? Of course not, as evidenced by this incident. |
