Are cops honest?

Why yes or no?

This question was resolved and who got the BA title? I wasn't warned about the time up either.

I would say, most cops are honest. We get a few bad apple in the batch also.

    Some are, some aren't. They have all been trained to trip you up and lie without directly lying.

    I feel that several instances I have had with crooked cos tainted me upon this topic and when ever I needed a cop as a victim of a crime they lays tend to come off like I am a perp my car gets stolen and they act like why you bugging us about it, my dog got shot in my back yard and they were saying oh he's was a big dangerous animal yeah he was on a ******* chain let's se in 1985 I had to fly to Los Angeles to retrieve a stolen truck for my boss I had to sit around over the weekend and stayed at an all night theater to save money the last night I am smoking behind the building and this guy is sitting in a car down the street a cop pulls up next to him and shot the guy in his head I jumped in the bushes and hoped that I was not spotted the cop gets out gets. Pastic bag and puts a gun in the dead guys hand fire it with the guys finger and takes off I went ahead and got a hotel room. When I was busted in Chicagoland with 2lbs of marijuana I ha a lawyer who was all forget about it and the next week my dealer sold me the same 2lb bag which I told to my lawyer and come court they read of the big list of possession resisting yada yada to the gathered ohs and the judge said dismissed and told me where to go to reinstate my drivers license. I got more yeah those ***** are real honest remind me to and I'll tell you about the time I pissed on one

    Some and some. No way you can generalise all police in this answer. I hope most are honest, but I know they cover their tracks in some cases and they use dirty tactics during protests to try and ignite riots (video evidence on youtube for this).

    Funny how many people criticize the police until they actually need one... then its a totally different tune.

    Many do criticize them for bad behaviour. Not everyone is saying they're all bad! There are many bad apples though.

    Cops often lie, cheat, and steal and, in fact, have a higher chance of becoming criminals than other professions. During the cocaine wars in the 80s Miami lost so many cops they began hiring anyone only to discover a few years later 1/3 of the police force had felony convictions and many were working both sides of the cocaine traffic. During the 90s small towns across America got their butts sued off when they decided to take a tough stance on crime by electing the biggest jerk in town as sheriff. In the last ten years or so cops have been routinely telling people things like it is illegal to video them in public which is a blatant lie. They've even confiscated and destroyed people's phones and cameras.

    Bottom line its a nasty job with high turnover, alcoholism, and suicide rates that tends to attract some unscrupulous characters. The more the public defends them and gives them free reign to do as they please the nastier they become.

    It depends on the cop and the topic. Sometimes they are more honest then anyone would ever want them to be, to open your eyes about a situation. They have to be really careful about lying too, if they are a good cop they won't. Many cops live in a world where they know they can be sued at any moment and constantly have to "cover their a$$" as it is put.
    They have been known to talk in such a way they ask a question that is expressed in a way that sounds like a demand. I am not saying it is a good thing, but it does makes their jobs easier.
