“If I lied under oath, what do you think would happen?”

Depends on the lie and on who’s behalf it was perpetrated.

Wasn’t Cleveland TN where that bunch of WWII vets armed themselves to insure a fair election?

You don’t have to lie under oath to be charge. Just lying, (or mis-remember), to an “only one” and you’ve committed a crime.

Cause laws are for protecting us from those evil terrorists… (and the likes of Kevin, aka “Smallest Minority”)

There’s nothing like stuff like this to inspire confidence and trust of the courts and cops eh?

Yea, but if they piss you off, you and your buddies won’t be able to write them tickets for going 2mph over the speed limit, or failing to properly signal a turn, or tase and then arrest them for having a couple of glasses of wine with dinner before driving home.

Prosecutors aren’t stupid…you don’t piss off the ones who carry guns and handcuffs if you know what’s good for you. Average Joe peasants like you and me? Well, they’ve gotta have SOMETHING to hang their “tough on crime” hats on when running for office later in their careers, now don’t they?

But I’m not bitter or anything.

Perhaps their idea of cooperation is to use the evidence to earn favors. Something like: “I won’t prosecute you for the illegal things you did, but you owe me a few favors.”

The prosecutor can now ask the Chief to arrest anyone he pleases to return the favor.
