Daseal, while generally agree with your post, I find this remark really offensive. My experience with police officers (and I have dealt with a lot of them over time) is that, in general, they take their job and their oath seriously. As in any profession, their are some bad apples who ruin it for the rest and, undoubtedly, you can point to both personal and famous examples to contrary (at least I would hope you could point to some person experience- otherwise your statement is just ignorant in addition to being offensive). But, the vast majority of law enforcement officers (90-95% of the couple hundred wiith whom I have dealt) are honest, stick to the book types.
True - If they believe you have committed a crime, a cop will not give you a road map on how to get out of it. Will they work to the limits of the law to get incriminating evidence against you? Yup - that's part of their job. But, in doing so, they don't "lie to get their way".
