I remember well the time I learned as a teen that police could outright lie straight to your face. I and a friend got caught walkin' home after dark and accused of a crime that took place in a nearby neighborhood. During questioning, the officer told me "Your friend already admitted to the whole thing" and some BS about reducing the charges if I "came clean" about my involvement. Thing is; I knew for a fact my friend had admitted no such thing, as we didn't do it, and neither he nor I would ever have admitted to a crime we didn't commit. Not how we was raised…
