Great question. The courts have consistently ruled that Law Enforcement Officials have no obligation to tell anyone the truth during the process of conducting an investigation and yet they will do their very best to charge someone who lies to them with a crime. Always felt that was rather odd. Unless I am under oath I don't believe I have any legal obligation to tell the truth to anyone unless I so choose. After all whats good for the goose is good for the gander right ????

it is oftentimes believed with the help of those people residing in those intense undocumented, intense violent crime neighborhoods that the rates are dropping because of the fact fewer incidents are being stated. wanting homicide you will no longer discover maximum unlawful extraterrestrial beings identifying on up the telephone to record whilst they have been raped, robbed or had a kinfolk member abducted. So the stats themselves are unreliable because of the fact the two the criminals and the victims are unlawful extraterrestrial beings. in spite of this, AZ nevertheless has the optimal drug appropriate violent crime rates in the rustic - and it is in a state that's disproportionately elderly. maximum unlawful extraterrestrial beings do no longer commit violent crimes. yet people who do are becoming so brazen approximately it that entire areas of considerable SW cities at the instant are siege zones. that's why a toss the toddler out with the bathwater ideas-set won't paintings.

To me it's like watching a strange set of falling dominoes. Ostensibly, the government has agencies charged with oversight. What happens when those agencies become corrupt? New agencies are put in place to oversee the overseers, and they in turn become corrupt. House Ethics Committee? Now there's an oxymoron for you.

Plausible deniability. It does exist for citizens too, but it is called the insanity defense (schizofrenia in particular) and gets you committed.
Because of this intrinsic difference between collections of people (like the government) and individuals it is CRAZY that corporations are granted the same rights as individuals (such as free speech).

it's not ok for government to lie. it's just that too many people don't care about politics because it's "boring" or something like that, so the government gets away with so much sh**.
