Why should we believe everything the police say?



    




Mr. Goodhi
You shouldn't..


Citicop
Don't.

Healthy skepticism of the government and the police is good and healthy in a society.

Keep your beliefs case specific and consider the source individually. Never believe EVERYTHING a single person says, police officer or not.

As far as Im concerned police are humans and they will lie, problem is innocent people suffer.


RetroRanch
There's a routine question defense attorneys ask prospective jurors about if they automatically believe an officer. They're looking for the person who will make that judgment from what they hear on the witness stand from individual officers. You don't have to believe everything anyone tells you. You also shouldn't take anything you get from the media as accurately representing what the police told them. They very often don't get it right.

Do you really? I don't. Police are human and do lie at times, can be corrupt and make mistakes. If your talking about enforcing the laws there is a slim chance that they lie.

We shouldn't.

Always double check everything! That's why the Internet is so great. We can use it to protect ourselves.

Surely you jest? When ever you talk about human beings, and the words 'everything' or 'always' are brought up when it comes to behavior.. well... that is when the word 'never' also comes to mind to ring true...
The Police are people too, no one is perfect. Judges, Preachers, Pastors, Bishops, Rabbi's, Teachers... this list goes on here...
Never always do or believe in something, when it comes to behavior of mankind...once you do, you might be wrong on occasion.

If they tell me the sun will shine tomorrow, im bringing an umbrella. If their lips are moving they are lying. They'd rather climb a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth.......need i say anymore?

You don't have to believe what they say.
But not doing what they tell you is where things can get a bit complicated.

Believe nothing of what you hear and only half of what you see.

They don't lie if they don't have to. But often they have to.

Because they have no reason to lie to you.
