Did Millersville detective commit perjury about child-predator investigation?

[@mazzith]

Lying under oath to get a conviction should be punishable as the crime they lied to get someone convicted of.

[@ard-net2999]

Preaching to the choir here, anytime prosecutor or cop tries to railroad a defendant with illegal acts they should face not the same crime since they didn't commit that crime but another and you know convict for crime. But make that new "Anti-Setup Law" have an open ended sentence that being "sentence equivalent to crime you tried to frame person for"

[@generalohu7782]

I feel it should be twenty five to life in prison or the death penalty. Death Penalty being for the most egregious cases.

[@unbreakable7633]

It is illegal. It's called perjury. But prosecutors won't prosecute cops. Courts won't sanction cops. The system is broken at the core. Hard to find a more lawless group than law enfarcement.

[@aracely909]

It’s a very common practice for law enforcement and prosecutors to intentionally lie in these cases that are created with sting operations, especially lying by omissions. And they do it to intentionally mislead the public, the courts, and jurors - to make sure they can get the convictions they desperately want. What’s even more disturbing is that those who conduct these sting operations are simply targeting men online who are in places that adults use to meet other like-minded, consenting adults for a casual hookup. Some of these adults enjoy engaging other like-minded, consenting adults, that they find in these places, in fantasy sexual conversations. This is specifically who is targeted in these online sting operations - but specifically only the men from this marginalized sexual community. So, it’s clearly discrimination based on gender and sexuality. It’s almost like a hate crime against men from a marginalized group. They don’t target the women from that community, only the men. And then the decoys force their own PDF file thoughts and obsessions on those men, strongly encouraging the men to play along with their fantasy about this. They pretty much communicate to the men that they are excited about this and want the men to play along with them. And clearly the decoys do get excited when the men play along with them. It’s just so sick and twisted. None of it has anything at all to do with trying to save or protect kids from any real online risk or abuse. The decoys create it all for their own sick thrills. All they are doing is spreading their own PDF file thoughts and obsessions by forcing it on men online who were seeking adults for this, not underage individuals. And the decoys strongly encourage those men to take on these PDF file thoughts too, so that they can then turn around and accuse them of being that. It’s so sick and twisted.

They lure men with s*x and seduce them, and then they change their age to pretend to be underage, as if a real underage individual would ever be doing this. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 See that’s the real problem. These adults are luring men online who are not looking for underage individuals to this with. They are looking for a like-minded, consenting adult to meet. And then comes along one of these decoys who forces there own PDF file thoughts and o sessions on those men who were not looking for that at all. There is no valid reason or excuse for anybody to ever do that. It’s just so sick and twisted. They are intentionally spreading their own PDF file thoughts and obsessions to others.

This is Tennessee. The rules only apply to the "other people". This happens all the time. Thanks to a free press and a good reporter to question authority. Checks and balances are necessary. Pedos should be prosecuted but cops should know the law and how to use it properly. In this case the disregard for the law allows the perp a legal avenue of escape from responsibility. Instead of supplemental training for LEO being about nonsense about training about the law. For example, filming in public is legal. Recording LEOs in public is legal. Grabbing people and demanding ID without any other reason than ID is illegal. It is bizarre that these cops don't know that their willful ignorance only helps the bad guys. But in the cops mind everything is legal if they say so.
