Can a police officer lie to a judge in court and get away with it?
Can a police officer knowingly lie to a judge during a bond hearing in order to increase bond on someone? Say, this officer stated that a child was blinded by a person that they want to charge with abuse when that child has perfect vision? Can they get away with this?
Answers:
It would depend on what you could prove the cop was lying about. Obviously you can prove to the judge that the kid has perfect vision, and then the police officer would get charged with perjury.
No, they are committing perjury (lying under oath).
can a defendant lie to a judge, can a lawyer lie to a judge, can you lie to a judge?
