That's like a far more sinister, far more conspiratorial version of a different story I heard when I was young... It was the early 80s and a great many low-income criminals had yet to see an actual polygraph machine... or a photocopier. So some enterprising police interrogators got a piece of paper with a typewritten "HE'S LYING" on it and put it on the glass, then brought in the suspect and "plugged him in to the lie detector." Then every time the suspect protested innocence, they'd just push the copy button and show him the paper that came out.This makes me sick: Tennessee Cops Posed as a Defense Attorney To Get Suspect To Incriminate Himself. Not only did the cops do this, but the DA asked the judge to ignore it. The judge let it go to trial. The three cops still have their jobs as well.This is a cluster fuck of massive proportions.
Seriously, how hard is this to understand?When Justice is corrupted one, it is corrupted FOR US ALL.
EDIT: Here's the opinion from the case. These guys pretended to be federal attorneys, going so far as to make fake letterhead and delivering mail to the defendants. This is like a bad movie.
Yeeeeeah, that got the brakes put on it fairly quickly once it came to light.
