Now, you know police can't lie in a police report, but sometimes they do. Cops can lie and often do lie. The problem is catching them in the lie. And what is a lie? Well, I smell If you don't smell And if you put it in a police report and that based your search of the vehicle on the smell of something that you didn't really smell, that's a lie. You've lied in a police report. But can I catch you at that? Probably not. And a lot of you are going to say, "Well, that happens all the time." It might, but if you get caught lying in a police report, the consequences are pretty serious. I just encourage cops when I teach cops and I teach classes, just don't lie. You have a lot of opportunities in this job to tell a lie. But, you know what? You have a lot of opportunities in this job to be the best police officer you can ever be, and that's one who won't lie.
