Our criminal justice system is based on "beyond a reasonable doubt", not "preponderance of the evidence". So the relative amount of lying by cops versus suspects should hardly matter.
It's this kind of erosion of the rule of law that has directly caused our current situation. Cops have ostracized themselves from their communities by enforcing top-down social engineering (eg drug criminalization), and then further compounded that resentment by doubling down into a combative us-vs-them mentality.
I've no doubt that most cops are good people, but they need to start policing the criminals in their ranks rather than defending them.
