Indeed. And particularly so when the agency making the allegations has an established track record of lying in order to secure convictions. Witness: > The history of the FBI Lab hasn't been without controversy. Dr. Frederic Whitehurst, who joined the FBI in 1982 and served as a Supervisory Special Agent at the Lab from 1986 to 1998, blew the whistle on scientific misconduct at the Lab. In a subsequent investigation, it was found that evidence had been falsified, altered, or suppressed, or that FBI agents had testified falsely, in as many as 10,000 cases, resulting in many false convictions. More than a decade later, cases were still being overturned because of this massive fraud. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Laboratory#Controversy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI_Laboratory#Controversy
