“The fact that our legal system has become so tolerant of police lying indicates how corrupted our criminal justice system has become by declarations of war, “get tough†mantras, and a seemingly insatiable appetite for locking up and locking out the poorest and darkest among us.”
This echos the disturbing testimony of NY cop Adrian Schoolcraft who seems allergic to lies. I heard this on This American Life a couple year’s back. Listen to the podcast here its Act 2.
This helps explain the reasons why our prisons are bloated and bankrupting us while condemning many to the dustbin of life.
