Oh, one other thing. If there is "regular" pergery going on, it's going on in front of a judge, prosecutor, and possibly a jury. What are you doing about that?

If there is "regular" pergery...
Do you mean perjury?
Thats seems more than a typo for a veteran cop.

"Oh, one other thing. If there is 'regular' pergery [sic] going on, it's going on in front of a judge, prosecutor, and possibly a jury. What are you doing about that?"

1) Juries can't do anything about perjury. They can't charge anyone.
2) Prosecutors DON'T do anything about police perjury, even after complaints about it. Their CSC and other 'real' felony cases rely upon dirty cops coming across as clean officers. They are disincentived to prosecute cops.
3) Judges can't sua sponte charge someone with perjury. They can't charge anyone, either.

So you tell me, what should be done about such a situation?

The worst thing I've seen about it is that the police I've seen obviously lying about their recollection would have the benefit of the doubt from the judge or jury anyway. If these cops would simply admit they don't remember all the details, or screwed up somehow, and simply tell the truth to the best of their recollection instead of the best of their fabrication, they'd make the system look good at the same time they're convicting the crooks.
