"Good Faith" is the legally terminology that referrs to the court's view on the testimony of law enforcement officers and other professionals in the so-called judicial system, basically saying that their word is more believable than yours because of the oath they took due to their line of work. I know from experience that this a license for them to lie under oath(or not) and get away with it. Seems they are not held accountable for these deceptions but the same does not hold true for the accused. Is this a game to them, or a self-serving power struggle? How dare they toy with our lives!!! Answer is YES!

sure. regular civilians would. its called "under oath" or "false statement"
I think they should get a larger punishment just simply because of the oaths and creeds they are to follow because they CHOSE to be a police officer.

Yes. They should be required to endure the punishment their lies would have caused someone else - as a minimum.

Isn't that sometimes part of the job, or am I thinking just defense lawyers?
