why do you think they hire straight edge kids nowadays? because officers credibility is always-ALWAYS-the first to be tried. and 99% of an officers rep will get the case thrown out or let it stand.
so obviously when i say, if you have alot to lie about, the poly might not catch it but the background officer will. the more you lie the more lies you have to make to cover those lies. wheres the integrity in that?
no department wants a liability on the job, it COST them money, majorly. not to mention the money spent to put someone behind bars, but is thrown out due to past history of the dept, officer, reports etc.
sure its not illegal to lie on the test. its not a matter of that, its a matter of what the profession entails.
