I was asked this question recently. I was asked if I thought I could trust the police, as well as would I believe them more than a civilian, if they were being interviewed.

I personally, don't trust them. I think they will lie to get whatever they want. I don't think they are totally dishonest, but I wouldn't put it past them to lie.

But, I can't say whether or not I would believe them more than a regular person. I think that all depends on what they are being questioned about. In most cases I would expect both to lie, but I think the police would be more likely to lie to cover things up.

What do you think?

Hello! I do not trust police in my country because we have a very high level of corruptibility so everything what you cannot buy, you can buy for a big money unfortunately and as I don't have big money, I try to keep in mind all rules! Happy mylotting! happy

Ah, that's too bad. It is really the same way here, if you have money, you can have the police in your pocket. They are not to be trusted.

I don't trust the police either. Here in my country they are a crazy and often arrest people who did nothing. Especially with all the terrorism talk they have become fanatics themselves and they act like psycho's. There was also one instance where a police officer rushed through the city with the alarm horn on at 200 Km/h because there was cake at the police station... He killed a guy that was getting out of a taxi.. For a damn piece of cake..

I'm not saying all officers are crazy, because that would be a lie, but most of the time I have encoutered these crazy officers who act like criminals with a badge and a uniform.

hell0 there
well, i really know that
there is a really big difference
between the police in my country
and the police in some others, but
if I have to say do I trust the police
according to my country, then i will
say NOOOO, because police here, is one
of authorities where the corrupcy is on
a high level. the policemen take bribes
very often when they stop you on the
street with the car and they ask you
for some money if you don't want an
indictment, which I really hate. there is
also something else- they don't react fast
on the signals of citizens in danger, and
many times they come too late to rescue
or help the people in danger!

sad trouble is i mostly dont trust most of the cops here in phoenix. a lot would depend on what they were being questioned about and who they were challenging. because i know the certain people they would lie about. rolleyes a lot would also depend on the curcumstances. theres been a couple times i didnt believe what went down,.and some i could total believe. suspicious
