thanks, Host. That's the incident I was thinking of. The cop in that case didn't have to lie and dind't have to interrogate the kid before his parents came. The kid was a lowlife and was going to get nailed anyway. But it's good that the cop got nailed. They <i><b>should</i></b> live in fear that abuses of power will be found and exposed. Cops have a lot of power and not a lot of money or prestige, so the temptations for self-gratification by misusing the power are pretty strong. It's the old quandary about who watches the watchmen.
