Officers routinely lied to obtain search warrants

A former Atlanta police officer testified Thursday that narcotics officers routinely lied under oath when seeking search warrants a practice that led to police killing a 92-year-old woman.

Former Detective Gregg Junnier told a Fulton County jury that detectives would tell judges that they had verified their informants had bought cocaine from dealers by searching them for drugs before the buy took place.

“I have never seen anyone searched before they go into the house I’ve never seen that done even though officers always swear to it,” Junnier said. “It’s done that way in 90 percent of the warrants that are written.”

But it wasn’t just lies to get the warrant to search Kathryn Johnston’s home that made Junnier uneasy, he said. He had an inkling something was wrong when he and Officer Jason R. Smith were leading the narcotics team to the front door. He said the northwest Atlanta house differed from the informant’s description.

1. It's OK for cops to lie under oath to protect "law and order"

But lying about sex under oath is a major felony.

2. It's okay for cops to do almost anything

and even do it on live tv, and apparently the most that will happen is they get to sit at home with full pay while the department "investigates" and later decides to do nothing.

It's amazing how corrupt cops are allowed to be. This is just one more example. And watch how little impact this Revelation will have.

3. "To Protect and to Serve"...

EACH OTHER!! That's right, screw the citizens and lie through their teeth, plant evidence, give beatings and drag innocent people through the mud all for the sake of making themselves look like they are keeping dangerous drug dealers off the streets.

I personally found this out the hard way when evidence was planted in my car because the cops were watching one of my family members, but were just as happy to get me instead. My lawyer tells me they are using me as "leverage" to get this family member, and he also says that this kind of stuff happens all the time.

Since this happened to me my entire outlook on everything has changed. I don't know how I'm going to do it, but my mission is going to be to do whatever I can to expose as much of this as possible. I do not want to see this happen to anyone, so if you have any ideas, please feel free to let me know. Post them or PM me, thanks!!
