Untruthfulness by those claiming to be crime victims undermines law enforcement
by Jordan Cooper

We ask for the police to respond an incident, so we must tell the truth to ensure justice is served. Citizens are used to find whereabouts about suspects, victims, and others involved. People are put to work by the police to make our living conditions safer. Filing a false police report holds captive justice and creates more muddles in our legal systems the world over.

This time Ryan Lochte and other US swimmers may have fabricated a story about him being a victim of armed robbery. I’ve been a victim of armed robbery myself and as with any crime it is nothing to play with. The US swimmers’ lie takes police attention away from other issues that actually need to be answered to. The police officers that replied to their inquiry could have had a presence elsewhere that prevented crimes in other places.

We need our law enforcement resources to be used to maintain lawfulness in the places we are. Honesty is needed for correctness in our system. Candor is needed to keep respectability. Untruths eliminate realness in our lives. The only place where being fictive is permitted is for drama on our televisions. Brazil is the most dangerous country in South America and they cannot afford to be drawn away from real happenings requiring public safety.
