The root of the issue is allowing officer to lie in order to deprive people of thier rights.

He knew he had nothing, he was just trying to get a confession by saying it was a 100% lock. The cameras wouldn't matter as much if lieing like that was illegal.

The fact that police officers can lie but people can't shows you the terrible power imbalance in our law enforcement.

Remember: Shut the Fuck Up
