What we're seeing here is the crux of the problem with allowing police (and prosecutors) to lie to a person in order to obtain a confession.
It's unethical.
And once you teach this bastardized ethics to police (and prosecutors), they now think LYING is a perfectly acceptable means to an end.
And then you see crap like this.
- voidlogic 13y agoWhen I was in HS and I learned that police could lie I was floored. Obviously it is unethical, but I think it causes ethics rot: I think the scariest thing about telling police that it is OK to lie is that it sets up the standard that normal rules social of social conduct don't apply to them, and what are laws but very formal rules social of social conduct... In this case I am impressed with the Cleveland County Prosecutor for letting this guy go.
