I meant that lying was more acceptable on police applications because police, in the course of their duties, often have to lie whether its telling a suspect that you have proof of their guilt and they just need to confess or using boilerplate language like "there was a strong smell of marijuana" to justify a search in the paperwork whether you smelled anything or not.

- notch656c 4y agoIn what country is this the case that police have unimpeachable history?
- leoqa 4y agoI’m mostly referring to federal law enforcement, I’m not familiar with local police suitability (but I’m guessing it’s not nearly as well resourced as the feds).
- notch656c 4y agoI wish my experiences with federal LEO in CBP could reflect that. I've lived some corrupt ass places but federal CBP officers take the cake.
