What ****es me off is that cops are allowed to lie and deceive the
suspect during questioning, but if the suspect lies he's guilty of
"obstruction of justice" (even if he had nothing to do with the
crime he's being questioned about).


No need to get upset or feel for the bad guys. The reasoning
is simple. When the cops lie, the motive is to find out the TRUTH,
so that justice can prevail. When the suspect or one of his
cohorts lies, it's to avoid prosecution and justice. Their motive
is corrupt and hence they may be charged with obstruction
of justice.



Don't talk to cops...


If you're a criminal being questioned about your crime, that is
usually good advice. If you're not, then it doesn't apply. In fact,
it could be very bad advice. For example, let's say your
friends BooBoo and Slim pick you up for what you think is
just a ride to a friends house. Along the way, they make a
stop somewhere else, tell you to wait in the car. They go
inside, you hear shots and a few minutes later they run
back to the car. In that case, if you come forward
immediately with your honest story, you will likely
not be charged because
you are innocent. But if the police finally figure out
who all was in that car because they have a witness
and come find you a week later, you could be in a position
that is much harder to defend.
