I’ve had them do it to me. They’ll lie about anything and everything from my experiences. My experiences with them have mostly been in large cities.

I particularly like the way they believe their own lies, I had a case against me thrown out by the judge because the cops clearly trumped up the charge and there was footage of me just standing there then being assaulted by the cops when i was supposed to be screaming abuse and breaching the peace. The cops scoffed and acted as if this was some sort of travesty of justice in court in spite of the video footage. I also had some WPC screaming at me to 'not to dare to touch her' because she was struggling to get my arm behind my back and another little sod accuse me of 'kicking his officers', they trod on my ankles which hurt so i moved them.

Cops don't "read you your rights" like they do in the movies. That's a myth. You usually receive them in written form when you are out-processed or make bail.

Many people make the mistake of believing the Miranda warning must be read at the time of arrest/detention. This is incorrect.

They only need to be read to you if the police decide to question you after you have been arrested/detained.

I have had so many clients tell me that charges should be dropped because their rights weren't read to them. I just shake my head and then have to explain it isn't like TV.

Miranda rights like the cold drinks ???? 😋😋😋🤤🤤🤤 i luove mirinda right or the left 🥤🥤🍹🍹🍹🧊🧊💧

Technically they could be lying if they have no intention to honor those rights, which I suspect is pretty often.
