If a police officer reads a false statement what is he supposed to do ?

The police officer must be reported to his superior so that appropriate action will be taken against him.

I am an officer and your only duty is to "Observe and Report" period! You don't try to tackle anyone either...that's what the police are for. Your best asset is to know your post and read your post orders and follow them. You document your whole shift on a daily log incase you have to refer back to a date and time you know what you were doing. Sometimes these logs get admitted into court...the whole thing, so don't write people's phone numbers and doodle in them because you will look like a fool and get fired....and oh yeah, don't get caught sleeping...that's grounds for dismissal.

I don't think the cop could enter or interfere.  Maybe the best he could do is radio it in and wait for an answer.

Best way I can think of is this:\n\nRepresenting something to be factual when it is not in order to gain something by doing so.\n\nOr simply, obtaining something under false pretense.

You could go to the station and file a complaint in most places.  But be careful with that, because police generally don't like it and try to look out for each other.\n\nThe best thing to do, if you witnessed this is contact that person's attorney.

no, it would just perpetuate an injustice.  encourage that person to report to the police and tell him what matters most will be that "the truth shall set us free."

If you want a serious answer, this is it.  I have worked in Law Enforcement for 15 years and this is one of the more mundane types of contact the police have.  DON'T LIE!!!!!.  If you know you were speeding say so IF ASKED.  Be polite and don't make excuses, the officers have heard them all and know when you are lying.  Don't give the officer grief, after all this is his job and depending on how fast you were going you may have be a hazard to yourself and others.  A ticket is not the end of the world and in most places if you do not receive multiple tickets you can get it dismissed by taking a safe driving course.  Remember the roadways are for everyone so be safe and allow others to be safe also.  Good Luck!

to correct information put out by the press or media, i would imagine you could contact them and ask about a retraction, as for the cops i don't see them doing anything as it is not their area to handle these kinds of matters. If the publicity causes pain and problems for you Godson, then it becomes a legal matter and getting an atty. probably will be the best answer for a resolution. Best of luck.

Your local law enforcement organization would be happy to talk to you about this. Seek there advice.\n\nTrust me on this one.\n\nYour issue about working under the table shouldn't even come into question unless something illegal was going on. We've all had to work under the table at some point in our lives to make ends meet.\n\nWhatever you do, avoid lying about anything. Leaving a small item out is one thing, lying is entirely different.\n\nBut really, police officers, especially old school guys are happy to talk to guys seriously interested in joining the force.

Ask the officers what type of proof they are looking for.

it depends on if your report is true if it is and is provable you will get in little to no trouble \nif it is false then you can be charged with falsify a police report\n\nbut there is no need for a forgien lawyer they don't know u.s. laws and it just looks supicous

It doesn't sound like you have a case. Police officers acting under color of law can't be held liable unless they violate your civil rights, and it doesn't sound like they did. They had a reasonable belief that there was a warrant for your arrest, as incorrect as that belief was.

example:  cops go to court and lie more than anyone else.

when someone says something about you that is not true.

...The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Police can lie to you in order to extract a confession, Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731, 739 (1969).  The only place an officer cannot lie is while testifying under oath in court, and criminal defense attorneys occasionally catch an officer lying, even on the witness stand.  Police are only required to advise you of your Constitutional rights under Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, if you are in custody and being interrogated about the offense for which you are being confined.  This point is usually determined to be the point in which the suspect is placed under arrest, or the suspect would reasonably conclude that he or she is under arrest and not free to leave.  Detectives are very good at creating the illusion that you are free to go, when actually, you are not.  For example, the detective may tell you that you are free to go at any time, but that it would benefit you to provide your side of the story as the evidence does not look to be in your favor, therefore you can be pursuaded into continuing the interrogation.  \n\nDuring interrogations, police who use this tactic may lie about the facts of a case.  For example, where you have an 18 year old male who has a 15 year old girlfriend, the officer will tell him that they have evidence that he raped her, when in fact, they do not.  The 18 year old tells the officer that they had consensual sex and that there was no rape involved; now the officer has a confession as to Statutory Rape that came straight from the mouth of the suspect.  In trying to exonerate himself from the charge of Rape, the 18 year old legally confessed to the lesser crime of Statutory Rape.  In Frazier v. Cupp, 394 U.S. 731, 739 (1969), the officer was able to extract a confession from the criminal defendant by lying about the strength of the case.  During interrogation, the officer lied to the criminal defendant and told him that his cousin, had confessed to the possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, also implicating the criminal defendant in the crime.  The criminal defendant then also confessed to the crime in reliance of the officer’s false statement.  The Court determined that the criminal defendant’s confession was voluntary and the fact that he was given his Miranda rights prior to making the confession was relevant to a finding of waiver and voluntariness.  Id.  \n\nPolice officers are also allowed to fabricate evidence to support a deception.  In re D.A.S., 391 A.2d 255, (D.C. App. 1978) the police pretended to compare the defendant’s fingerprints to a fingerprint on the victim’s checkbook and pronounced them a match when in truth, no fingerprints were recovered from the checkbook.  The defendant confessed to the robbery and the Court held that the police deception did not by itself invalidate a voluntary confession.  Id.  at 258.  Confessions are not invalid or inadmissible, even if they are obtained by deception or trickery, as long as the means employed are not calculated to produce an untrue statement.  Only if the deception, combined with other factors, coerces the suspect or defendant to confess, will the court deem the confession inadmissible.  Id., at 259.  \n\nIn order to extract confessions, police may also attempt to persuade the suspect or defendant that her conduct was less blameworthy than anticipated.  Deborah Young, Unnecessary Evil, 28 Conn. L. Rev. 425, 433 (1996).  Police may lie about the victim to diminish the suspect’s fear of confessing.  In People v. Jordan, 597 N.Y.2d 807 (N.Y. App. Div. 1993), the police told the defendant that he may be able to save the victim if he told the police exactly what happened.  The police falsely told the defendant that the victim had just received eighteen stitches for her knife wound and would soon be out of the hospital, when in actuality, the victim had died. The defendant confessed to stabbing the victim believing that he would be charged with assault and not murder.

In most states, when you make a statement, it is a true and attested statement, and some states, swear you in. If you try to revoke it, could be contempt of court, perjury, making false statements or any other law they dig up.\n\nWhen you make a statement, it is intended to be true and accurate and I cant think of any good reason why someone would want to pull it, unless the person its against done some fast talking.
