I find it interesting in the US that we hold lawyers to the high standard of no lying, while law enforcement officers are given more latitude, esp in interrogation situations. Seeing it in TV shows and movies, which often have officers and detectives lying about knowledge, evidence, other witness statements, all to get info, I assumed that it was fictional. In many cases, though not all, it appears to be allowed within limits in real life. See, for example, https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.adamsluka.com/amp/can-the-p.... This doesn't mean all cops are liars, and they still shouldn't commit perjury, but it's an interesting comparison to me. I guess it's a reflection of the advocate/adversary approach that is often a part of the legal process. |
