Quote:Planting evidence? No, just those wanting to get ahead in their career.


Using slick language and questions disguised as soft commands ("you don't mind if I take a look in your car, do you?") or manipulative statements ("if you've got nothing to hide, there's no reason not to let me take a quick look around") to get you to voluntarily surrender your rights? Yes. 100% of the time, 100% of cops do this.


Police are trained to lie to you with a straight face. Not just detectives trying to get you to tell them where the body is, but traffic cops who have quotas--errrr, "performance goals", not just for tickets, but also for drug busts. If police are trained to assume that I'm a criminal, lie to me to establish trust and get rights waived, then find anything they can to cite and/or arrest me on, why should I assume anything other than that I'm dealing with a corrupt liar out to get me to waive my rights so they can plant a meth pipe in my car?


I've said it before and I'll say it again: All cops are liars. Not all cops are bad, but all cops are liars, and as such, you must always assume that you're dealing with a bad one.
